ABOUT ME

I'm Caroline, 26 years old, happy and smiling girl from Paris.

After studying Anthropology I left France for a supposed year in Asia. Now it has been 15 months that I have been travelling and I spend almost 1 year and Half in India, living and travelling.

I really enjoy to travel but not only, I love reading, watching film and photography

I also like eat new things (i'm vegetarian ...) and learn to cook new meals !

I'm interesting in organic farming and vegetarian cooking. In the futur I would like to run my own organic garden and for this reason my goal is to learn different methods of farming around the world like permaculture or agro-ecology.
I want to share with locals farmer in the different country I'm gonna pass.

But if you have not the same interest it's not a big deal, I'm ready to share with you, to know you and you're culture, religion, town ! I like to now more about religion, it's an interesting subject for me.

Yoga and Capoeira are my favorite ;)

If I can, learn an other language would be great :)

PHILOSOPHY

I juste say to myself, and to the otHers : do what you want to do because after you will regret. Don't deprive yourself to do something because of other people.

Live the life you love, and love the life you live.

I interest in the buddhisme philosophy and I'm trying to apply its philosophy :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My first CS experience in Ho Chi Minh city !

I hate Guesthouse, it is so impersonal.
I don't believe in sightseeing or tourism. For me travelling is about to experience an other culture, meaning : meet and live with local people, sharing their daily life, their food, their language. Any thing.

Interests

I really really love books. Since I learn to read, I just devour books. I like watch films, classic films, I'm a big fan of Tarantino. If you want to advise me some books or films, it will be a pleasure !
I also go out for a drink, or just a walk outside with my camera, because I love photography.
I like nature, and walk where there is no people and just listen birds and smell fresh air !
I love music, and drums.

Music, Movies, and Books

I actually read a lot of anthropology books and one of my favorite in this time is The Cosmic Serpent: DNA and the Origins of Knowledge by Jeremy Narby.
Shantaram is a great book too, about India ! Le dieu des petits rien, story in India.
Haruki Murakami, Norvegian wood. I felt in love with this writter !
Harry Potter, books of my childwood of course :)

I love discover new films, but I don't like action movies with big effects. I love Tarentino and Wes Anderson. My favorite movies are, without specific order ;
One of my favorite movie is Into the wild, 'cause I love the philosophy of the character. Give up all superficial things, give up consommation and enjoy small pleasure of live, every moment .. Beautiful way of think, way of life.

Music, I can't live without music. I listen a lot of different things, I'm really open to discover news songs, news artistes. But what I listen more often is reggea music and old shcool rock'n'roll.
One of my favorite song is A horse with no name !
