I'm Coline, twenty years-old french girl. Currently studying cinema in South of France, I decided for one year to focus my activity on volunteering. I've been thinking about it for a while, and it's time for me to put my studies on break and commit myself to this experience.

Living in the countryside, I am used to rural life. With my parents, both craftsmen, I have participated since childhood in country life : looking after the garden, maintaining this large old house, feeding and caring for animals (cats, dogs, but also sheep, cows, horses, mandarins and chinchilla......)
I enjoy manual and artistic activities more. My mother is a ceramist artist - I have always loved shaping clay. Very quickly, I wanted to devote myself to an artistic profession : first through music (I learned to play the piano then the cello) I turned towards drawing, then photography, until finally, cinema.

I've been working in film for 5 years now - and that's just the beginning ! I'm very enthusiastic about joining a school, or working life very quickly. In cinema, there are many possibilities: I plan to become a director. But I'm also very interested in the cameraman's job - I also appreciate the technical approach.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have been travelling as much as possible in several countries in recent years. So I was able to visit Scotland, Ireland, the United States, Greece, Morocco, the Czech Republic, Germany. I speak French fluently, and intend to perfect my English - I remain optimistic and enthusiastic about learning different languages and even more in the field (because my previous stays were always too short, and not yet in a voluntary approach...) So this time, it's the opportunity :)

I'm young, and I still have a lot to learn. Travelling, since I am lucky enough to be able, seems to me to be the best opportunity to make exchanges.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I wish to meet and help people willing to share their knowledge, their living environment. I make sure that I adapt as well as possible to the environment in which I am welcomed, and to get involved with pleasure in the tasks of daily life.
