About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Finding a job in Berlin!

ABOUT ME

I'm quite a cheerful person , more a chiller than a party-girl, though I'm always up for fun stuff.

I love to chat and share experiences with friends around a glass of wine, while cooking some delicious food (mmmmh)!

I'm as much a city-girl than a nature-lover and I keep trying to find a healthy balance between the two.

PHILOSOPHY

"Die Welt ist die grösste Sehenswürdigkeit - sieh sie dir an" - Kurt Tucholsky - (Something like : The world is the best sightseeing - go and look at it)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been a member of CS for many years now and have had the occasion to surf and host!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All CS experiences so far have been great - I met friendly and open minded people. Hosts gave me the occasion to discover their city, their country from a local's point of view, while surfers offered me a different perspective on the places I was living in!

Interests

I would say my main interest in life is travelling and meeting people who enjoy sharing their view of the world!

I'm also really interested in photography and cinema.
Oh! And I have this weird passion for proverbs and expressions in different languages. Looking forward to learn some news ones from CSers!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiking through mist in the mountains of San Antao, on the Cap Verdian Islands. Walking over the "Old Bridge" in Mostar, Bosnia Herzegovina. Driving on the highway in Albania and overtaking a cart with a donkey (what a fright!). Eating a typical Cuban soup on the banks of the river Yumuri in Cuba.

Teach, Learn, Share

I may be able to teach you how to touch your nose with your tongue... but it's a tough one ;)

I would love to learn expressions in the languages of the people I meet.

We can share: experiences!
