Forever taking breaks from studies to travel around. I kinda prefer living in friendly strangers' flats than in my own. There are just so many lifestyles to learn from!

I'm also always hungry for people that will feed me music and poetry (and any art really).

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I met so many great, generous people here. I've found myself in situations and in places that I would have never dreamed being in if it wasn't for CS. I love the genuineness of it all. And I think it is very political and revolutionary to develop alternatives to the traditional tourism industry. Like, interactions that are not based on money but on mutual desire to share, help and learn. Yay anticapitalism!

Centres d'intérêt

I would love to say outdoors are my favorite thing (like really I want to be that person damn) but IT'S NOT TRUE. (Update : shit, I think it's becoming kind of true)
That being said I do love hiking and rock climbing, and also kayaking, cycling, camping - really anything that'll get me out of my bed and my nose out of my books.
Also I like to hitchhike when traveling (I'm getting kinda serious about it), oh and when I can I love taking trains. I love trains so much. And bridges and tunnels, too. Don't ask me why. One day I want to learn how to sail as well. Maybe next summer!
When I'm not on the road, reading and writing is what consumes most of my time. And also discovering new music. And going to concerts. And dancing. And playing ukulele. And singing. And writing long enumerations.
