Overview
About Me
I'm a social science student living in England this year, but I normally study in France. I'm often tempted to overly fill my days (so many things to learn, books to read, projects to start, friends to meet!) but at the moment I'm trying to do less and hurry less to enjoy things more.
I love learning (from books and from people I meet), being outside (cycling, hiking or just strolling around), partying and dancing! I enjoy all kinds of art, be it theatre, cinema, literature or music.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I love to meet new people, to hear about cultural differences and to discover new ways of approaching life.

Teach, Learn, Share
I would love to hear about how life is in your home country, about what you love and find difficult. It would be great to cook with hosts and maybe visit some places together if you have time.
