About Me

CURRENT MISSION

travel and find the meaning of life! haha just kidding, i want to see as much as i can, meet locals and practice my french and spanish...

ABOUT ME

Hi there,
I´ve heard a lot of good things about couch surfing and I think it´s a great idea...
I am interested in seeing a lot of sights in the cities I go too (but not ALL sight-seeing) and I love going out at night and finding bars with character, where the locals go (not just tourists!)
I also love the french culture and the language.

I came to Paris for a one year exchange but loved it (after 2 weeks) and decided to stay. I'm working now for a start-up called Dashlane (check it out!) and trying to work on my French.
I love seeing obscure European movies, going out all night without planning it to quirky places and having as many adventures as possible. I also love meeting new people and doing outdoors things, like swimming, camping, hiking...
oh and I'm very tall :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've stayed with lovely people in Spain, Italy and France.

Interests

Im very interested in discovering Paris and meeting other CSers here! I love most kinds of movies, cooking new things, finding hidden secrets in Paris - especially restaurants or cafés that nobody knows about. I love all kinds of music! Especially alternative.
Hmm what else? I like going snowboarding in the winter and i love swimming in the sea in the summer..I tried surfing once but found i had no natural talent.
I love travelling! Meeting different people and sharing opinions with them and learning how different cultures live is the best!
