About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Discovering Europe

ABOUT ME

Née à Paris, j'ai grandi ici mais mon coeur reste en Auvergne (d'où viens ma famille) et en Irlande (où j'ai étudié).

Autre petite spécificité, je suis végétarienne (et un peu écofasciste sur les bords...), au grand damne de mon petit frère.

---

Born in Paris, I grew up here but my heart belongs in Auvergne (volcanic region in the center of France where most of my family lives) and in Ireland (where I studied some time).

You also have to know that I am vegetarian, which my younger brother completely disaproves

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

J'ai été accueillie à plusieurs reprises mais n'ai jamais eu assez d'espace pour accueillir. Je compte cependant mettre mon canapé à disposition des couchsurfers très prochainement.

---

I was hosted various times but never had enough space to host anyone. As I've just moved in my apartment, I can't host yet, but I'm willing to do it as soon as possible.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

J'ai fait du couchsurfing en Irlande (Belfast et Galway) et en Ecosse (Edinbourg, île de Luin et Inverness) : des expériences inoubliables !

I've been hosted by couchsurfers when I was in Belfast, Galway, Edinburgh, Inverness and the island of Luin, in Western Scotland.

Interests

J'adore cuisiner et découvrir de nouvelles recettes. Un bon repas, rien de tel pour prendre le temps de découvrir quelqu'un !

Ecouter de la musique aussi. Mes parents ayant érigés les Who, Lou Reed et Bob Dylan au rang de demi-dieu, j'ai joué les moutons de panurge et suivi le mouvement ! Mais je ne dis pas non à une soirée jazz, folk ou soul. Aux amateurs des Temptations, Duke Ellington et Devendra Banhart, bienvenue en terre conquise.

Et aussi, lire, me ballader, faire toutes sortes d'activités manuelles (mosaïques, origamis...)...

---

I enjoy cooking (and eating) and I think a good meal is an excelent way to get to know someone.

Also, my parents consider The Who, Lou Reed and Bob Dylan as demigods, so, of course, I really love rock and folk music (but also jazz, funk, soul, reggae...).

Also love reading, going to concerts, doing mosaics, travelling, learning languages...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

J'ai passé une partie de mon enfance au pied d'un chateau fort du XIIe siècle, entre la chaîne des puys et la forêt.

I spent a part of my childhood at the foot of a beautiful XIIth century castle located in the middle of volcanos and forest : heaven!
