About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Finding my way...

ABOUT ME

ALL about me ??? That's definitely too much !

Hmmm... I was born in France, lived there for 18 years and then moved to Germany, to study and to see how life is there.
I studied chemistry, and now ... I am studying again (or some more): archaeology and what is sometimes called "humanities" or classical studies (a mix of ancient history, greek, latin and archaeology of the Greeks and Romans).
So now I live in this truly beautiful little city in the south of Germany (which for french people would still be the north... and for Italians maybe even somewhat like the northpole ^^), with my two flatmates and... yeah, it's reeeally nice ;)
But I'll admit that after spending more than ten years here, I'd like to move on to other shores again... Sicily, maybe. Who knows ;)

And last (yet) but not least : I spent one amazing year in Italy (Bologna) thanks to the Erasmus program. I kinda fell in love with this city... *_*
(...and the people, and the language, and the culture and the country, and... ^^)

PHILOSOPHY

Smile and your world changes ^_-

Don't dream up your life, live your dreams !

... and something somebody once told me : Stop saying "I'll try", say (and think and believe !) "I will", and do it !

I live for my feelings and all those I share them with : friends, family, ... people I like or love ^_-

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I truly discovered CS in Bologna and think it to be a great idea, a truly nice way of meeting interesting people from all over the world... and a great way to discover new places. So... I'd like to be a part of it, hosting and travelling ^_-

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

From what I could see in Bologna, it's absolutely great ^_^

Interests

Ouch... that's not easy.
Well... the world and how it works (eh, I study chemistry !), and life, this unfathomable miracle... I want to know more about it and can't get enough of it, which is why I want to specialize in biochemistry.

...and lives too, different cultures and ways of life, which is part of why I like history and archaeology so much (*_*), and that's why I'd like to meet new people : everyone is different, everyone has something (else) to tell... ^_-

I like to read, watch movies, go out with other people - be it in the city or to go hiking or skiing, and... well, I'm interested in many other things (except soccer, cars (or motorcycles), beer and gir... ehm... goat's cheese :-p)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Five beautiful days walking in the sun and sleeping under the stars in the Sahara - sleep on a rooftop in the old city (centre) of Jerusalem and watch the sun rise over the rooftops - ...

Teach, Learn, Share

I like languages very much, I like learning them, and learning more of them... they fascinate me :) Maybe because they are keys to fascinating cultures. So... dunno, maybe I could teach them too.

I am also very interested in history, in sciences... and I like to cook :)
