ABOUT ME

I'm a 22 year old student and I've just graduated from my home uni in France with a BA in English Studies. I now live in London and study English Literature and Gender Studies. I like cats, chocolate, my friends, talking about arts, culture, books, politics and many other things, speaking english, being lazy, among other things...

PHILOSOPHY

"Never before had he realised the invicibly strong magic there was in so simple an act as thinking."
Vicky Baum, The Weeping Wood, in the short story 'The Test'.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My housemates and I are currently hosting people in our house in London. If you want to surf here, please send your request to my housemate Amy who centralises the e-mails. You can find her in my friends.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

1. Surfed with Anna in London - She's a very nice and welcoming girl and she hosted my best friend and I for two days.

2. Hosted Maxim and Olga from Nice - Maxim and Olga now live in Nice, but there's originally from Russia, and they were my first couchsurfers.

3. Hosted Amelie and Ricardo from Paris - Amelie and Ricardo stayed for a week-end with me and we had a great time.

4. Surfed with Amy in New-York City - I stayed with Amy for two absolutely fantastic weeks. She's the craziest, bestest pal ever ^^

5. Hosted Ritsuko from Japan - I met Ritsuko through a University program to help foreign students find a couch while they look for their own flat. She stayed with me for two weeks, we had a great time and ate a lot of râmen.

6. Hosted Eva from Croatia - I'd never met an Alaskan-Croatian before and I don't regret hosting this one for four days. I wish she could have stayed more, she's a real darling.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies : I'm a great fan of Johnny Depp's work, of Tim Burton's, Woody Allen's and Ken Loach's films.

Books : I like fantasy [Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Anne McCaffrey], sci-fi [Asimov] and political books, or basically books that talk about people and their everyday life in an interesting context.

Music : I listen to a lot of French songs with funny or meaningful lyrics like Georges Brassens, Jacques Brel, Edith Piaf, Boris Vian, etc ... but also many young french singers or bands. I'm also a fan of old rock or pop-rock english music like The Beatles, R.E.M., Simon and Garfunkel or even Bob Dylan [don't kill me because I mixed up musical styles, please *_*]

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach French and English and how to prepare some French meals ^^
As for learning, could someone please teach me how to be less clumsy ?
