About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Share my luck

ABOUT ME

I think I'm a nice girl, quite easy to live with or to "bear" for few days. I' m very talkative but I try to cure myself so I write some kind of poems on my blog.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy life as it comes, do what ever we want if it doesn't hurt anybody, travel the most to know the best.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'd like to meet new people, French and foreigners to make them visit Paris but I am not very accurate on the history or the sense of orientation. I offer to anybody a couch if my flatmate is okay with it too. She's very nice, completely crazy and very welcoming ! We often go out in the evening and we really enjoy meeting new friends, sharing with them and introducing to everybody we know !

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met couch surfers in Bordeaux and the ones they welcomed, and I slept once at somebody's flat in Iceland, and it was just great ! Now I'm addicted : I welcome as many people as I can and when I travel I couchsurf.
It's simply a drug, but a sweet one.

Interests

Books, rock music , trips (Spain, Italy, Poland, Tahiti, Iceland, England, Germany, Portugal, Belgium, Israël ...), arts (paintings, sculpture and drawing particularly. I love visiting art museums and I can accompany anybody who wants to. I prefer Dali, Picasso, Renoir, Monet, Van Gogh, Hopper, etc. etc.) dance (in my living room), going to the ballet and theater.
I love hiking, rock climbing, ping-pong, badmington and any sports which are not too tiring !
And, of course, anything that is fun and beautiful ...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I survive to a childhood with 6 older brothers and sisters ... but I'm trying to find something more surprising ...
I saw whales in Iceland, and I went to Tahiti where I saw the Eden, in fact.
I went to the Oktoberfest and drank way too much ...
I visited a Kogi village in Colombia and it was certainly the richest experience ever.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach French because I've been educated in a family of purist linguists.
I'd like to learn anything useful ... or useless, in fact, because I'm quite fond of stupid things such as learning how to move my ears or my nostrils ...
I would also like to learn music, any kind of ! and photo.
