After finishing school with a Baccalauréat in Literature and Arts last summer, I have decided to take a gap year with my twin sister. We are both working as au pairs in London (in different families) and will be going to live and work as volunteers in Taipei (Taiwan) from January next year until June/July. Hopefully it will help us know more about what we really want to work as, and so what we need to study. At the moment I have a thing about Asian arts and culture as you might have guessed already! I am a fun and bubbly person, who is caring and makes sure that everyone around me is happy. My sister is very much like me but is a little bit more serious than I am! She likes to think that this is because she is the eldest one, even though she is only 15 minutes older than me!

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
We love travelling and meeting new people. Couchsurfing is just the perfect opportunity to do just that, right?
Music, Movies, and Books
Music: Practically everythig, with a preference for Pop, Rock, Kpop, Jazz and classical music! Movies: Historical, Comedy, Artistical, etc... Books: Polars, Thrillers, Historical, French literature (Victor Hugo, Emile Zola...), English Literature (Jane Austen, Ernest hemingway...), Harry Potter (of course!), etc... I simply love books!
One Amazing Thing I've Done
While in high school, one of my friends and I have organised a Run for Hunger (Action contre la Faim) through which we have managed to make nearly every student participate and which allowed us to raise 2,500euros for charity. I have volunteered for several charities/organisations: Les restos du coeur (help to homeless people), accompaniment for disabled people going on a pilgrimage to Lourdes, helped in a Festival in my city, etc... Took part in a musical that we have created ourselves.
What I Can Share With Hosts
Even if I am young I can share my little experience of life, passion, hobbies and dream with pleasure and learn from yours !
