About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Carrying on travelling, while finally landing my dream job....So tough...But let's give it a go

ABOUT ME

Pretending I can say everything about myself would be very ambitious and surely inadequate ... And maybe tasteless, as I guess only the real meeting can give you a real idea. I believe to be quite an easy-going girl.
Some say I am a bit crazy because I can burst out singing or dance when I hear any good music ... Sorry for being sensitive to good things around ! Some people call me the "drama queen" ...
I love to tease people, to express myself or to ask unexpected questions and this, from the very first meetings with a person, consider to be warned ! I love theater, acting and all kinds of physical expressions (african dance/yoga/badminton/sports/intellectual stuffs, from the most to the least intersting topic)... )
I can be very talkative, as I'm passionate about many things (maybe too many, i have troubles deciding which master i am going to pick next year, I love too many things to surrender anything !)But normally, I can manage to be quite simply a nice and smiling girl, just willing to meet as many different people as I can, and to discover things around me ...Above all, I love when people can surprise you and make routine exciting.On a more earnest side (yep, it's also here within me, although sometimes very well hidden ...) I'm interested in human sciences as a whole (philosophy, anthropology, psychology, sociology, history) and languages and its components. I also like economics and all topics that are related to contemporary issues. I'm fond of Asia, I was so glad being anexchange student in Seoul( South Korea) for a year. This experience was so amazing that I know this is just the beginning ... I just love to meddle in new environments and question my life's goals everytime. Well, I guess it's quite decent for an introduction ?

PHILOSOPHY

Feelings and thoughts cannot be divided, we are all living both rationaly and with yearnings towards life's pleasures and suprises.
Dont think words are elaborated enough to describe sufficiently any state of mind but the most meaningful aphorism to me is :
"Live as if you were to die tomorrow, learn as if you were to live forever"
Quite accurate with such few words! Because it implies actions, thoughts, and self-position regarded to life itself

Also love reading various newspapers, good classic novels, afterwards, I read pretty much everything, even in some really academical specific things OR fashion magazines, if it falls in my hands !
MUSIC

Lover of folk, soul,indie, jazz, rock, pop, if you start with some Queen (favorite band) or classical music, we should get along very soon, I do think I have therefore a good culture of oldest music (and weirdest and most infamous past hits too !!)

Loving Almodovar, Akin, Allen, Inarritu, Gondry movies but also couple of other big movies, provided you can share good discussions after! Generally prefering little topical movies which set uncommon histories or tone

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A random trip through Europe, almost unprepared and relying on adventure.

Stopped class for 6 months, just to prepare a very complex exam for a school I really wanted to enter ... And done it, luckily and successfully !

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach french, english, german as languages. Otherwise it could be playing tennis or badminton, some tips for theater/dance,or cooking french food and especially sweet things,some subjects and academical stuff ( economics, law, history, philosophy, linguistic, sociology, politics... OK this is not the funny part but i CAN be useful you see :p) !
BUT most meaningful for me are not those skills; this is more about unnoticed little things human beings learn from each others throughout life. SO let's learn and share together !

What I Can Share with Hosts

I cook, bake, tell jokes.
I also like to share products from my home region, as it is not so famous.

Countries I’ve Visited

Belgium, Croatia, Denmark, Egypt, Germany, Hong Kong, Hungary, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland, San Marino, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom

Countries I’ve Lived In
