About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Relax and try not to destroy my flat

ABOUT ME

I'm rather calm, I'm a geek and proud of it XD, I love all kind of playing games and discovering new things and take time to enjoy life. I love dreams and people who create them and I'm not a terrible cook (you have a 50/50 chance that what I've cooked is edible).
Also, I suffer from tea and cat addiction.
LGBT friendly ^^

PHILOSOPHY

Nothing happens unless first a dream

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can offer a small couch, if you're okay with cats (and if you're giving me enough time to tidy the flat XD *is horribly messy* I can't host you unless you give me a 1 week notice at least!)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been a couchsurfer since 2008, but I used the account of a friend to surf with her. We had the extraordinary chance to be welcomed by wonderfull people! Couchsurfing quickly became one of the best if not the only way to really experience what living in a country is like. I especially enjoy hearing from people what their life is like, what they eat/do, what they feel is emblematic of their country. I have so many incredible memories from couchsurfing! Singing together in a Turku house, walking by night in Tampere, learning how to have a true finnish barbecue in Jyvaskylla, or playing lots of games in Helsinki... Our hosts in Finland were so great!!! I still want to hug you all for the memories you offered us! Of course I also can't forget our hosts in Poland, you were all so nice!! Our 2 days exploration of Krakow and Warsaw their night life were so epic, but I also loved this magical night where we went looking for dwarfes and everyone was so nice and friendly and took so much time to help us!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm not sure I've done anything amazing, sorry XD Does being lost and saved regularly by strangers count as something amazing?

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach about France, its history and culture, hmmm.... LGBT history, also, I guess, and huh.... comics/manga? I'm also not bad at organizing trips and can offer advices about publishing a fanzine.
I'd love to learn about your way of life or anything typical of your country, like traditions, cultural specificities, or even popular brands ^^
