CURRENT MISSION

Laughing, reading, teaching, watching movies, (hitch)hiking and drinking tea!

ABOUT ME

I'm a spontanous, dynamic and curious girl. I like laughing, travelling, eating pancakes and taking pictures. I don't like to hot weather and spinach.

I finished my master in modern history and a diploma to teach french as a second language last january and I just started to work as teaching assistant at "University for teacher's education" in Lausanne and doing a PHD in the field of history didactics.

PHILOSOPHY

We have this saying in french "il vaut mieux en rire qu'en pleurer" which would be something like "It is always better to laughs than to cry". I think it is a good starting point to enjoy your everyday life... I love the idea that whatever happend -good or not- laughing is always the best thing to do! Even if it is by yourself and others take you for a fool;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I surfed couches in various countries and it has always been some extremely positive experiences!

I finally had the chance to host people with my flatmates in Montreal and I really enjoyed it as well.
