My name is Cecilia, I'm a twenty something Theatre Designer (I design sets and costumes for theatre). I grew up in Paris and moved to London four years ago to complete my education. I like to think I’m easy going, funny, cultivated, and I love meeting new people and discovering new cultures.
I spent the summer 2015 working as a bike tour guide in Paris, it was completely awesome, i got to meet people from all around the world and cycle in the city every day

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’ve used Couchsurfing on a number of occasion and always had great experiences. I met amazing people with who I’m still in touch with, and it has definitely broadened my horizons and changed my way of travelling.

Interests

I love folk music and blues, classical music and opera, jazz and soul, but also cinema, it's one of my biggest hobbies, I love discovering new movies.. I love reading, in particular american literature like Kerouac, Steinbeck, London... Drawing and taking pictures is also something I really enjoy, in particular when it comes to portraits or building skylines, or beautiful places in Paris..
