About Me

I am a Nowherian living in Belgium for a while.
I love to discover and learn. And travelling is such a great way to do so.

Yoga. Reading. Writing. Taking pictures. Those are my favorite hobbies.
(Well, I'm trying to learn guitar, but wouldn't hurt your ears for the moment)

"Le véritable voyage de découverte ne consiste pas à chercher de nouveaux paysages, mais à avoir de nouveaux yeux." (Marcel Proust)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because...

Visiting a place cannot only be looking around for beautiful landscapes or amazing buildings.
Overall, I'd like to meet people. Discover their lifestyle. Learn what they can tell about their lives.

Interests

I started yoga a few years ago – just to try – launching a video for beginners on YouTube. It has since become a part of my daily life. I am not at all into crazy posture, it is more about reconnecting to my breathing and my body. Meditation came out of this daily practice.

Can I be named a bookworm ?
Don't know.... but my mother tell me that as soon as I learned to read I was disappearing in any kind of reading I had at hand. Now I'm juggling between reading "the" internet, news magazine and the book following me in my bag. Writing was a response to it. And a way to help me keep tracks of my memories and ideas.

As an observer (enneagram type 5), having a camera seems a way to stop and look around with a pretext.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm thinking myself as an eclectic.

About music, I love the bands Bang Gang, Midlake, Metronomy, Fauve, Baden Baden, Albin de La Simone, Ghinzu, Arid, The Arctic Monkeys (those are more or less the most played on my spotify account, but many more have all my affection and admiration)

3 movies: The Taste of Tea , Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind ; Old Boy.
(Note that as I child, once I realised I was not a mermaid, my top one Disney Movie was The Beauty and The Beast)

En tant que lectrice essentiellement francophone, je switche en français pour quelques lignes.
Quelques coups de cœur : 1984 de George Orwell, L'Art de Marcher de Rebecca Solnit ; Antigone de Henry Bauchau. (Je suis prête à allonger la liste de vive voix)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Biking in the Moroccan desert.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm so curious, if it match my values, I could learn barely anything.
I'd love to learn to teach yoga - Next bullet on my bucket list ?
I'm graduated as a French teacher (tell me if I could help)

Share my pictures. Share my stories ; writings. I am learning to... by taking first step to the creation of a personal blog ?
