My name is Aurore. Yep that's a French name... unpronounceable… this is why lots of people call me Aurora, if you like you may try with Aurora or come up with a new alternative! I always look forward to new alternatives!

I am also 26 years old. I grew up until I was 15 in a region called “Lot et Garonne” where one can eat a lot of prunes and ducks. Due to the fact that both of my grandmothers like, better said love, cooking and cook very well, I develop a strong taste for good food and good wine…

When I was 15, I moved to Toulouse and studied there for 5 years; all the way through high school and then two years of Uni. I studied Literature and Philosophy during high school. I therefore like to read books but also newspapers.

After high school, I decided to study law and started my long journey thought law school. I went on Erasmus in Utrecht in 2010 for one all year and learn how to speak English! I met a lot of different people, one of them is now my boyfriend, and live with 6 other great personalities that help me be the person I am today. I travelled through Europe with them and partied a lot!

After this, I did a Master in Business Law in Montpellier and lived with my grandmother. I went from crazy parties to lovely evenings with my grandma.
Finally, I did a LL.M. in European Law in Stockholm where I lived with a mother and her daughter who turned out to be a second family for me.

Now, you have information about where I grew up and what I studied. Regarding my character, I believe that I am friendly, life-loving person and opened minded and I can speak a lot when I get to know people...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To be honest I registered on this website a wile ago but did not invest my time on it as I was, I guess a little otherwise occupied…Yet, I have been meeting a bunch of different people via meetup and all have been telling me great things about couchsurfing.

Today, I am trying to:
- meet new people and make friends
- learn new things from you guys
- experience new cultures
- develop and understand generosity

Music, Movies, and Books

Books => I always start by saying it is Harry Potter as this remind me of the time where I was little and used to read until 3 am and my mother would not understand why I would be so tired the next morning even though I went to bed as 9pm...
But after Harry Potter, I will say that one my favorite book is La grand-mère de Jade de Frédérique Deghelt. French book about…you will need to read it to know the story…sorry!

Movies => too difficult to answer. Too many great movies such as Inception, the Bourne identity, Intouchables…

Music => I like Jazz and listen to it quiet a lot during evenings. But I also like pop, electro… I like to pick some random playlist on Spotify and play them at home or when I am biking… Spotify has also the right playlist for the right moment.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to China and climbed not all but a part of the Great Wall.

Teach, Learn, Share

I hope to meet people who will be willing to share their personal experiences regarding travelling but also regarding their life, past or future dreams. I would like to be inspired by these people so that I can look forward to new goals and become a better person.
