About Me

I am a 27 year old girl ready for adventure living with a 3 years-old labrador named Raja (also ready for adventure).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I think it is a great way to go places and meet new people!
Also because I want to support all the initiatives that bypass our isolationist society and rely more on people and community!
Because my heart is full of the people I had the chance to meet everywhere around the globe.
And because I have been a French living in Athens and know how its nice to find a family abroad

Interests

I love to wander around the city, find beautiful street, doors, people, ... talk about little things of life with strangers.
I love to draw and use colours, I am especially fond of pastels and aquarels. I am currently studying to work in the cultural field to manage heritage site.
I want to go climbing, everywhere it is possible! I have already climbed in Dordogne, Var and Nice region, Spain, and the US!
I also love to read and write and sometimes forget to take the time to do so, and feel bad before I realized that it was what was missing.

I love doing small stuff that don't mobilize my brain while listening to the radio!

  • traveling
  • drawing
  • rock climbing

Music, Movies, and Books

MUSIC
Soul, soul, soul, my heart is somewhere in the deep south with Aretha Franklin.
Funky tunes like Chromeo.
Old rock and new rock (but not the unimaginative stuff) : Rolling stones, Jack White, and so many others.
Happy ancient songs: Greek folk songs, russian traditionnal songs

BOOKS
All Victor Hugo. All like the whole damn man.
Everything by Nabokov (but Lolita weirdly), Jack London, Danniel Penac ,
Poetry (Hafez, Goethe, Saint John Perse, Mikaël Hautchamp)

MOVIES
I love all kind of movies
All Guillermo Del Toro and fantastic movies.
Romance and realist movies.
Movies which moves with a great soundtrack and have a sense of rythm.
(the last I've really like was the world of Pi, which has a very interesting standpoint on religion matter I think!)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Rappelled in gorge of canyons that were dry and felt like tobbogans in the vicinity of Les Vallons Rouges (Provence/ cote d'azur) at sunset !
Saw marvelous sunrises that made me lost my phone on Ispahan (Iran)'s Nasq Jahan square.

I can let you stay at my father's place in Toulouse and visit around with you
I can take you to great places to hike in the Pyrénées
I can teach how to rock climb, how to take care of a dog, how to draw, help to learn English, Greek, ...
