About Me

ABOUT ME

So so so, I'm French and German and am living in Mexico city for couple months to learn Spanish! I usually work for ICRC (International Red Cross), and would love to have my new assignment somewhere in Latin America.

I always like to discover new places of the world, I like drinking beer (this is my German side :)), the sun, being with people, the beach and especially big waves, being spontanious and dancing! I also like my job a lot and am excited to start working again in June. But as for now, I am very happy to learn Spanish and get to know this continent!

PHILOSOPHY

“Note to Self: None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Eat the delicious food. Walk in the sunshine. Jump in the ocean. Say the truth that you’re carrying in your heart like hidden treasure. Be silly. Be kind. Be weird. There’s no time for anything else.” Nanea Hoffman

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I believe that the best way to get to know a place is through people who live there! Also I only had great couch surfing experiences and this made me want to continue travelling this way. I think it s a great project and would like to get more involved in it!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I did couch surfing in Brasil, during the carnaval in Rio and it was so so great to get to know this city and this time of the year through real Brazilians! I also got to know many couch-surfers throught friends, and always had good experiences - great people!! and the other time I had the chance to sleep on a couch in Jerusalem, it was also great !! I really hope I will get to know this world a little more!!
