ABOUT ME

My name is claire, i'm 24 years old, and i plan to travel around new-zealand until next January! That's my first big trip and and i'm eager to discover how it will be. That's a new life experience, meeting a lot of people, discovering amazing landscapes, sometimes beeing alone! Actually, in France i always was with my friends or my roommates, and i decide to travel alone... It will be a real challenge, but i think to be quiet sociable, and i hope i'll be able to improve my english...
I think i'm an easy going person who is happy to travel!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Actually, this year, i'm like a hobo who searches for couches to sleep haha :) But, when i'll be back in France, i'll be happy to host you make you discover my country!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Just twice, in Hungary. I discover couch surfing with my friends and it was a really good experience!

Interests

Hmm... Listening to music in a car, listening to music in a parc, listening to music by walking...listening to music everywhere!! I love dancing too even if i'm quiet bad, my body is feeling the music!

I'm fond of mountain's sports, rock climbing, hiking, skiing, but i'm not a professional, it's just i love mountain atmosphere.

I prefer when it's possible to share thoses experiences with my friends, so, i love to drink a beer with them and organize our next trip: riding, climbing, or even staying in a city. Museums, concerts, meet people, so much things to do, it's difficult to sum up in a few words.. I'll be happy to explain you who I am in person!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I used to travel in Africa and when you see a family who shares everything (food, bed, water, clothes, smile, experiences, time..) whereas they don't have any money, or food for every body, and they are just happy to share something with you, it's amazing. In this kind of moment you can see that humanity is something real and beautiful.

And, about thing i've done... I think that skydiving (i used to jump 16 times) is the most incredible thing to do in your life. You will understand why birds are always singing...

Teach, Learn, Share
