About Me

French, grew up in the North of France but living in Bordeaux, studying Political Science (SciencePo) and Journalism.

I lived a year in Mexico City where I was an exchange student (Licenciatura en Ciencias Politicas y Maestria en Periodismo) and a communication/journalism intern in a Film Festival. Right now, I'm finishing my degree in Journalism and I did various internship in Cultural Journalism.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Definitely, all my Couchsurfing experiences were great moments. Best was in Copenhagen where my cousin and I spend two weeks : all our hosts were awesome and we discovered so much with them (hitchhiking around all the country, dansk culture, climbing trees, beers on the rooftop.. etc). Same in Mexico, Colombia, Norway, Croatia or USA - on my own or with a friend!

Interests

Always try to travel as much as I can when I get some free time/holidays. I am interested in discovering new countries, cultures and people - and try to make the most out of my stays abroad. I'd like to be a journalist or work in culture area, such as film festival.

I'm a ballet dancer, synchronized swimming swimmer, music-cinema-photo-and-art-enthusiast, daughter of cyclism and nature fans, active reader (so many knowledge to learn..), as well as a huge cofee and tea lover. Also always (obviously?) enjoy a good night out with a good company.
