Overview
About Me
Hello everyone !
I am a travel lover. I always had the chance to travel, with my family or my school.
And last year, during a gap year, I lived for 6 months in Peru, making one of my biggest dreams come true.
And I won't stop there. Meeting new people, discovering cultures, food, history... It is definitely part of my life.
I want it more than ever !
Currently, I am studying in Erasmus for one semester in Brno, Czech Republic. Why did I choose Czech Republic ? Because there are so many forests in this country, and especially classes about forest, nature and environment in general. You probably understood that, I am a nature lover.
I think that we can find beauty in small things, in small places, everywhere.
As an introvert (and sometimes shy) person, I am sometimes not that talkative, especially in the beginning... but my curiosity to meet new people is bigger, so don't worry. I also always love listening people talking about their hobbies. And I love deep conversations.
Respect and benevolence are one of the most important values for me.
A detail that is still important to specify in Czech Republic : I don't like beer... ! (Yes, it's possible !) neither most of alcohols. But don't worry, I love so many other things.
Boredom is something unknwon for me : I am curious, always want to learn new things, to try new hobbies and activities ; so time is never sufficient for all of that ! Learning languages, reading, hiking, running, nature, animals, playing board games, woodcraving (I'm a total beginner), drawing and aquarelle (I prefer watching, still trying to learn this skill), writing, watching movies, hanging out with friends, going to the museum... I'm sure we can fin common interests !
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
When I was a child, I registered to a platform to get an opportunity and have penfriends. So I had the chance to send and receive letters from all around the world. It was my first experience with cultural exchange. It litteraly opened me to the world. And since then, I feel the desire to meet people from various countries.
Then I rediscovered it, using apps like Tandem or Hello Talk.
Today, with Couchsurfing, I want to continue and put this exchange to the next level : meeting in real life, sharing moments.
As I'm living in a student residence, I cannot host anyone for the moment.
I am new here and I am so excited thinking about the new adventures I will live with this community of couchsurfers !

Music, Movies, and Books
Favorite music, movies and books depend of my mood, the moment in the day and the year, and so many aspects no one knows about. There are so many that I it's difficult to choose, and each new movie I like becomes my favourite... until I watch the next one.
-------------------------------------
🎶 SONGS :
I like listening to the music of a country I travel or live in.
So currently Kryštof, Lucie Bíla and Chinaski have a big part in my playlist.
Totally open to new recommendations !
Apart from that, I usually listen pop songs, but I like to change for various kinds of music.
-------------------------------------
🎬 MOVIES :
Well, although I love watching movies, it is not my priority, so I have a kind of lack in the classical ones (but I'm working on it...).
Poor things (Yorgos Lánthimos, I love this director with so strange movies), Pinocchio (Guillermo del Toro), The whale Darren Aronofsky)
-------------------------------------
📚 BOOKS :
I was nicknamed "the traveling library" by my family, as everywhere you can meet me, I will have a book (or more) nearby. I can absorb different kinds, but lately I am more thriller or realistic oriented.
Metamorphosis (Franz Kafka), The secret keeper (Kate Morton), The storied life of A.J. Firky (Gabrielle Zevin)
And so many others, it's so difficult to choose !
