I am studying Icelandic in Reykjavik after I finished my bachelor in Nordic Studies in France.

In the afternoon I work in a school where I try to practice Icelandic with children -who are very patient and good teachers!

I like to read, go to the art-cinema, go for meditative walks on the sea shore and admire the mountains far away -it is never the same because of the seasons, the weather, the light. I also like to go to cafés and meet people or sit there with a book.

One of my favorite activities here is going to the sauna in the evening, very relaxing after work or after a hike.

Otherwise, I am a calm person, introvert, but I enjoy good company :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

surf and host, but i must say that i haven't been participating much for a long time, and i would like to be more active again.

I am sorry if I don't reply every request, I get really a lot so I sometimes don't have time to reply, but I try to do my best :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I used CS in Iceland, Germany, Norway.. : I think without it my travels would have been completely different, from far less rich.

I also hosted some people in Paris, very good experiences too and it was fun to be a tourist in my own city.
