About Me

I'm a mix between a child, an activist, a part-time worker, a student, an artist, a hipster and a feminist. I'm always questioning everything so I escaped my native Paris to live in Kyoto, then Marseille and finally Toulouse. I never really meant to live in France so I'm leaving to Montreal in April for at least two years, where I'd like to work and maybe settle down. I'd like to develop some skills in writing, translating, photography, piano, queerness, activism and maybe singing. I'm empathetic, adaptable and cheerful. When I get to know people well, I can be very funny.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm moving to Montreal where I don't know anyone yet so this is a good way to meet people that I can get along with. I haven't had a long experience with Couchsurfing, even if a lot of friends of mine do, so I'm very familiar with the concept and ethics. l would have loved to offer couch to travelers but I my flats have never been big enough for hosting people, and I'm always planning my trips last minute so I'm always too ashamed to message a couchsurfing host for the next day^^...

Interests

Meeting new people, exploring cities, staying in my bed, being addicted to my phone, dreaming, learning languages, working, sometimes playing music, cold or fresh weather, thinking about intersectionality or animal condition or religion, sometimes going to clubs, sometimes reading, doing emotional work with my partners.
