Hey,
I'm Clara, 19y old trying to travel on my own and enjoying to meet new people/ I can consider myself as happy-minded, motivated by the unknown (concerning cultures, obviously). I have a certain tendency to smile and often blush when I meet someone, even if I'm not shy, don't know, might be my unconscious.
Anyway, I have been studying English at uni for 2 years and now changing for Ethnology and Anthropology in Bordeaux, France. My aim is to work as a project coordinator among NGOs (utopia).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am always planning new travel projects and couchsurfing might be a great alternative to hostels.
Also, if I travel alone it is to encounter locals wich could tell me where to go and what to do, avoiding the expensive touristic attractions ;)

Interests

Everything could interested me !
I am here to learn about others, I have no problem to change my alimentation or my hobbies.
Personally , I usually act as a volunteer for cultural events in my city, and every week I go to meet homeless people with my association to bring them food and clothes . My contact to others is friendly and I am not shy at all.

Music, Movies, and Books

Concerning music, I can enjoy every sort of, especially local music if I can discover it. I would be pleased to hang out to local concerts wherever I find myself - I have to admit my heart leans toward old rock, as well as techno... eclectic tastes ! I do not play any instrument but interested in, especially saxophone. Fortunately for you, I won't sing!

I frequently go to the movies, Corean cinema is my fav, I hate blockbusters and Indian cinema but let's say I still can be "open-minded" about it ...

Concerning books, I love to read in the original language, notably authors from the Beat generation (what a hippy...).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I just invited myself in a house where a family lived in India, because I thought it was the hotel I had booked (it was the wrong street). They seemed pleased to receive me but didn't really understand what was going on...

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach French of course, and share my knowledge about french culture, we can discuss literature, music, politics...
I'd like to say "I can cook!" but that would be a lie, I am sorry.
I have strong notions in English but my accent is SO french, that's the thing I need to change!
I know very bit of Spanish but'd like to go to a hispanic country in order to learn it.
