About Me

Good morning everyone !

I'm a French girl, 37 years old. My friends say i'm funny and cool, so i hope i will be up to your expectations :) .
I absolutely love traveling, i think like everybody else here.
I can fairly say i'm easygoing and clean, and i will definitely do my utmost to be grateful for your hospitality !
One more thing, i don't smoke and NEVER drink alcohol. But i swear i'm still funny !
I'm VERY passionnate about politics (hardcore communist), so we can spend hours talking about it ❤️

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm more used to resorting to Air Bnb (please feel free to check my reviews if you have an account there), because i was a bit skeptical about the " free " aspect of couchsurfing. Then i met a colleague hosting couchsurfers himself. He explained to me how much he enjoyed meeting foreigners, that the website made sure people were safe, and that the spirit of CS was truly to connect, and be supportive.
It really reassured me, so i'm ready to give it a shot.
I have already experienced living in host families when i was younger, and to me talking to local people is an essential part of discovering a country.
So i see CouchSurfing a bit like an alternative community. I really hope to travel differently, and having fun with locals would become thes best memories.

Interests

always ashamed by this section since i have no particular hobby i'm dedicated to... (lack of time, laziness... lack of time sounds better).
Do running and dancing count ? And i'm addicted to indian food and chocolate ! (that's why i've got to run... :( ...).
As an engineer in energies, i'm very interested in ecological solutions to human energy consumption.
When it comes to travels, i'm more found of historical spots and wild sceneries than big cities. As an example, i have recently been to New York, which was okay but not my favorite destination. I'm more of a Temple&Desert girl ;)

What I Can Share with Hosts

chores, outside activities, sports (desperately trying to stay active...), shopping, social activities with friends... I'm very open-minded so any suggestion will be welcomed, from bungee-jumping to turkish movie !

i completely understand how tricky it is to host a total stranger, so please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any question.
