CURRENT MISSION

Go through challenging life experiences, meet new people, share what i can share, and make songs out of it

ABOUT ME

I'm 23, I study in Paris and I'm currently on a year-off, soon arriving in Buenos Aires for 5 months. I later plan on working in local governments, about urban planification, sustainable development or Culture (i already had a 11 month-experience with sustainable development in a town council). In an ideal world, i'll also be able to do music part time - i sing, play guitar, piano and ukulele.

PHILOSOPHY

Though question...I try to learn as many things from life as possible, meet as great people as possible, and I hope I can "create" something totally new. (Unclear, right? Well, we'll discuss that when we meet!)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I cannot offer a couch at the moment as I'm travelling, but i'll be happy to do so once i'm back in Paris (jan 2011).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I already couchsurfed in NYC and San Francisco and it went really well! I later welcomed one of my host in Paris, and we're still in touch.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Building great friendships from totally random occasions. Falling in love. Singing in public.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can do the French accent surprisingly well. Otherwise, French is my mother-tongue so I would be happy to teach French. I'm pretty good at cooking.
At the moment, I'd like to improve my spanish, play music in a band, and learn meditation.
