About Me

I just finished a Master's degree in International Relations at LSE, which means I just finished a year in London and lived with a ton of more than absolutely amazing people, who literally live across the world. So, I suppose the upcoming years will see me quite a lot on this website, trying to find a way to visit them, and meeting other people in the process.

Also, I'm in the process of writing a novel. It's a kind of mythological, modern fantasy, travel-based gibberish, which I am always happy to talk about when people are interested.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books:
- L'enfant des Sept Mers, Paul-Loup Sulitzer
- The Count of Monte-Cristo, Alexandre Dumas
- The Sea-Wolf, Jack London
- Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels

Even though anything that can be read has a chance to win my approval.

Movies
- Tarantino movies (Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, Inglorious Bastards, the Hateful Eight)
- Le Grand Bleu
- Grand Budapest Hotel
- Slumdog Millionnaire
- Miyazaki movies (my personal favourite is Princess Mononoke, but I also love Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle)

What I Can Share with Hosts

What I would share?

Obviously, my awesome personality and my awfully huge ego. But deep down, I can be a nice person. Sometimes.

Apparently, I'm never short of bizarre, goofy jokes and anecdotes, so I guess that would be great for a "never-have-I-ever" evening theme.

Oh, and I just love to share food. If I host you, I will always cook for you. Not the most complicated dishes, because I'm not the most skilled cook either, maybe just coffee or tea (but always with some squares of dark chocolate), but if there is a French something I'm attached to, it's hospitality.
