ABOUT ME

Hi dear couchsurfers!

I am eager to learn about pretty much everything and to enjoy life as much as possible. To me, this often translates into traveling and surrounding myself with people I love, and whenever possible trying out new things out of the ordinary. While I like to see must see spots, I also love going out of the popular trails when traveling, so if you're willing to share with me the little known places you love I'll be most grateful!

I am training as a scenographer (set, costumes, lighting, props) and am currently trying to improve my portrait and anatomy drawing skills, so I might ask you to pose for me if you're comfortable with it. I also love playing music and am learning accordion and ukulele as of now.

Without being vegetarian, I really enjoy this kind of cuisine, for its taste as much as for ethical et ecological reasons. I'm actually quite a lot into ecolo friendly ways of living and try to do my part.

PHILOSOPHY

Open wide your eyes and wider your mind.

When possible, I always opt for second-hand things, because everything has a right for a second chance - and it's better for the environment !

Don't be affraid to speak a language you're not mastering yet : People will appreciate your efforts, you'll make progress, and your mistakes might entertain your friends. I learnt this way that "boar" and "whore" are NOT the same thing....

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surfed quite a lot in Europe and North America as a guest and whenever possible as a host. I also like going to CS events when abroad to meet other travelers and locals. While working in Limoges, France, I ended up having the best time thanks to the wonderful people I met via CS, who are still part of my life. I met one of my best friends and roomate this way!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach the bases of playing piano, accordion and ukulele.

I like to share meals with my hosts. Whenever possible, I'll be happy to cook for you! I usually will prepare mostly vegetarian meals.

I would love to learn from better artists than myself how to draw and play music!
