About Me

French girl not really used to travelling. Everyone has to start somewhere. I've always lived in Toulouse, south of France where I enjoy sun, wine, my friends, music festivals, singing with my guitar and patting cute dogs. I love dogs. Unfortunately, I don't own any (yet !).

It's hard to describe yourself somewhere you know everyone can read you. I'd prefer that you find out by yourself who I am. But for a short summary, I'm very curious and too talkative. I hate disrespect in general. I think the communication, the honesty (and shared humor) are the floor to build a solid relationship. I'm easy-going when I'm not tired nor hungry - if I get tired AND hungry I'm just the most childish person on earth. I easily apologize and admit that I'm wrong - when I am. It's a big matter to me to be clearly understood by the people I speak to, I hate misunderstanding and confusion. I can discuss about heaps of things (especially everything that is pointless to other people but in which I find a bright interest), but here are a few topics I am really bad at : politics, sports, cars and geography. But as I am open-minded I don't see any reason not to try to discuss about things I don't usually handle.

I have a really bad memory so I can easily forget what I am saying in the middle of a sentence, forget your name and your age, or be confused about something that I think you said to me but actually you never did. Don't take it personally, it's not because I don't care about you, it's because my head is fucked up. It happens all the time even with my bestfriends. The things I never forget are feelings and emotions associated to a moment or a person.

I take all the comments and encourage you to advise me about my english and the mistakes I can make.

Currently in the middle of nowhere in England, doing some wwoofing (World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms) in a little farm with a lovely family. -> I'm back !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

SURFING
When I visit a place or a city, I want to be as close as possible to the real life there. I mean I want to know what locals do in their day-to-day life, where they eat, where they can enjoy a drink, be peaceful, have fun for the night ... Touristic things can't really teach you the cuture of a new country, it's basically just a mask and to get money. Talking about money, I'm also here because I'd rather offer my talks and a nice diner or a nice drink to a nice person I just met than giving my money to big firms.

HOSTING
I'm abroad now, so I can't host you for the moment, I'm sorry.

Interests

Mostly my interests are into people. I really like to talk (too much sometimes, there is no stop button on me) and to listen to people. They always are interesting or different, even - and mostly - when they don't have any clue about it. I really like to share as much as possible the few things I learned, I like to help and be useful to people.

Discussions that is about human being, equality, rights, evolution, ways of living, believes, languagues, religions, homosexuality, racism, environment. I'm fascinated by the WWII and when I can't sleep, I like to watch documentaries about wars.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like hips of different artists and kinds of music : Gorillaz, MGMT, The Velvet Undergound, Massive Attack, Sam Smith, Queen, RHCP, Gramatik, Chet Baker, Mo, ... But what I like the most is clever covers lost on YouTube of popular "shitty" songs that I can hear on the radio. Feel free to share with me even your weirdest artists and songs, I may like it :)

Movies .. Too many good films to talk about them here. But I'm definitely in love with Wes Anderson, David Fincher, Quentin Tarantino and Guy Ritchie.

I just finished to read 1984. Amazing. Currently reading "L'écume des jours" by Boris Vian.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I haven't die yet !

What I Can Share with Hosts

My conversation, a practice for your french, a moment of music (if you are a musician), a drink, my (bad) jokes, my love for cute dogs, existential questions. And much more if you're lively, I inhale energy of people, gives me strengh.
