About Me

Currently studying French as a foreign language teaching in Bordeaux, France, I used to live in Phuket Town, Thailand, in order to complete a teaching internship in a local french cultural center.

Before that I used to live in New Caledonia (french island in the Pacific) for a few years.
I also had the chance to live, work and travel in amazing Australia, from where I came back 2 years ago to go back to university and get a masters degree in french teaching.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing helped so much when i arrived in New Caledonia as I didn't know anybody, at all. Thanks to this community I was lucky to live with an amazing local host and I met people who became really close friends.

So when I was living in a flat share I was glad to host people too (my flatmate took care of all the paperwork, lazy me)

Interests

Cinema, making pizzas, analog photography, cats, and most of all scuba-diving.
I'm crazy about sea's stuffs.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

- I could help you to improve your french as it is now my job.
Feeling lazy ? We can just work on your pronunciation of "rendez-vous", "cabernet-sauvignon" or "déjà vu" haha
- I can also give you a hand with your camera stuff as it used to be my job in another life.
- I'm also a scuba-diving guide back in France, so I can help you with your diving or snorkeling skills.

- If you speak Thai or Spanish I would love to learn from you ! And of course I would be glad to learn about your culture.
- I surfed a few times and I REALLY enjoyed it, in a beginner way of course, so if you want to share your knowledge in this field, I'm all yours.
