About Me

French openminded and curious student, just want to meet new people, and share with them everything we both can share: good time and talks! :)

CURRENT MISSION
Studying psychology, education and philosophy in Oslo for my last Bachelor's year in psychology, I want to become a schoolteacher. I do want to develop my own pedagogy which would respond to my vision of school challenges.

PHILOSOPHY
"We but mirror the world. All the tendencies present in the outer world are to be found in the world of our body. If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change.", Gandhi

Now what I want is not so much to explore the entire world but exploring the Ideas people have on the World and themselves, and sharing mine.

Faith in the power of intention. "On peut tout ce qui ne dépend que de notre volonté.", Marcel Proust

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Like I said before I "want to meet new people, and share with them everything we both can share: good time and ideas!".
The spontaneity and the quite short last of the meeting with Couchsurfing makes it very intensive and special. That's why Couchsurfing offered me unforgettable meetings and built my way of thinking the travel.

Interests

I love the subjects I'm going to study because they both allow me to develop my knowledge of human and to think about what I would like to teach children.

Also, I play guitar since I am 7. I had some rock bands and play percussive fingerstyle like Andy McKee too. To play with other musicians is one of the things I would always love to do. I like to try different instruments for some years: I started to learn piano by myself and bought a harmonica and other little stuffs I try to tame!

Of course, I love to listen music. I do like watching nice movies too, I let you watch the details undermentioned ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelling alone for two month along the beautiful coasts of Ireland, doing only hitchhiking, Couchsurfing, and HelpX. A way of travelling very rewarding.

Travelling for 6 weeks with my girlfriend in Norway, still by hitchhiking, and sleeping sometimes in a tent in wonderful places. Wonderful country, wonderful moments.

Bungee jumping from the highest bridge in Europe.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to share and I am always in thirst of learning.

I can teach you guitar techniques, or basics in music.
Also, of course, if you want to learn some french, it is possible!

I would also love just to learn all you can teach me :)

We can talk about music, movies, cultures, and other hobbies or ideas! And we could share good traditional reciepes from your country or mine! ;)
