[IMPORTANT :
Just so you know : I would definitely love to host people, I'd be a true pleasure but unfortunatelly I'm a student with a tiny little space to live in. I understand that for people who'd host me, it'd be more reassuring to know that I've experienced hosting but I promise that if I stay at your place I'd definitely behave as I would like someone to behave at my place if I could host. Anyway, you can write me if you come to Toulouse, I'll be happy to meet you or give you some advices, I promise !]

Hi everybody !
I'm Louise (also called Loulou), I live in Toulouse and I just finished my drama studies at the Toulouse Conservatory of Arts.
I'm a travel lover and even though I've only had two experiences on CS, I can't wait to experience more !

The reason I think that CS is a great traveling thing is because I can't imagine experiencing new cultures, places, ways of living without meeting locals and sharing because to me, traveling and living are what it's all about : sharing.

I think that I am a very opened person, always up for a new adventure, a good laugh, long talks, adrenaline etc !
Also I can seem a little shy at first but don't worry, just give me 5 minutes and *woosh* I'm a clown :))

I'm obviously not looking for luxurious travel conditions, a simple mat on the floor will be perfect I promise ! So if you want to hang out in the wonderful city of Toulouse or anything else, I'll do my best to help :)

Also, if you want to have an idea of what my world looks like, here is my instagram 😉 : @duermalou

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to share everything I can share with fellas from all around the world, it seems like people tend to forget that sharing and being opened are the essences of living with others !

I like a lot of music genres. I mostly listen to Indie/Rock music but also Reggae, Electro and a bit of Rap, Jazz and Classical :)

Movies :
- One of my favourites is "Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain" by Genet. Heartwarming and very human, feels like a poetic hug watching this !
- "Relatos Salvajes" - Damián Szifrón

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was in Africa, I spent a few days into a wildlife park full of elephants. We had to take showers in a sort of bungalows with doors that didn't go up to the ceiling. One day, (I was 5), while having a shower, I saw an elephant trunk inserting itself between the top of the door and the ceiling, just into my shower bungalow ! This unforgettable experience is one of the most surprising things that have happened to me and, by the way, the elephant is my favourite animal :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach people how to speak basic French, practise basic yoga/meditation, cooking and I'm opened to any knowledge or experience :)
