About Me

I’ll try to be short, as I’m always writing novels about everything. I’m a 24 literature/library science student (please don’t be bored just by reading this, I’m a very nice person x) I like discovering the world through books, stories, words. It gives you a very broad perspective of life, opens your mind a bit more.

Generally speaking, I would like to discover the world, finding its soul through people and places. It’s also a way to discover yourself. Life is a question of eternal learning, you never know what could happen. So I try to let my mind open as much as possible, to absorb new experiences, to doubt.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This erasmus experience I had in Finland was one of the craziest and richest time of my life. I learnt so much about myself and met so many amazing people from all over the world !!

I want to continue this great experience, and CS is probably the best way to do it : meeting new people, sharing different views and experiences, having a nice chat around a tea, a nice meal together, share for 1 or 2 days a common life and make great memories…there are so many reasons ! Do I really need to say more ?

Interests

Huummm since I started to be a vegetarian, I enjoy cooking and eating even more ! I am always delighted to share a meal or a tip, discover new recipes

My big passion in life is reading, no matter what I do, it always comes back to books. I like to write also, even if it gets difficult (time/motivation/inspiration questions involved)

I enjoy series and movies, and all forms of art, as long as it “speaks to my sensibility” (let’s say that).

Also I love hiking and photography, I’m trying to improve my photography skills, playing with my new Canon, trying out color settings and all that stuff… it’s very pleasant ! And there’s nothing better than a beautiful landscape, a sunrise, taking your hiking shoes, your courage and climbing at the top. Then, you feel glad and thankful for everything.

Music, Movies, and Books

Good ones ! As I don’t know what to say, I’ll go for the latter discoveries

Music : wow it's hard to say, it depends on my mood. At the moment, I’m more into a relaxing, acoustic folk, just a guitar and a voice… simplicity is the best, as always !
Movies : I'm currently watching a lot more series than movies (it takes so much of your time, these nasty little things) The last ones were “the Man in the High Castle”, and “Narcos”, both addictive. My bad !
Books : the tough question ! There are so many authors I’d like to try out! the last ones read as well : Marisha Pessl’”movie night”, Donna Tart”the goldfinch”, and Paul Auster”Mr. Vertigo”.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Living in Finland... The whole stuff was crazy and amazing all along. I loved it. Even the bad moments, retrospectively, I wouldn't change anything. I learnt so much !

Teach, Learn, Share

teach, learn and share in the same time : To enjoy life, to have fun. Nice memories. Lot of laughs. Great thoughts and ideas (or not, I'm also okay with that)

What I Can Share with Hosts

A flat, when I’ll have mine, a bed and shower. Food !
Materialistic stuff excluded, we can also share nice talks, laughs and ideas. Tips for the city, sight-seeing together… whatever comes, or is wanted
