Hello, I'm Elise and I'm 19. I'm a very sociable girl who love to make new friend. People see me as a strong independent women but I'm also very funny and a good listener. I'm very open minded and I usually get along with everybody. I talk about everything and don't get angry easily.
I love to debate about everything if you're into it.

I'm in first year of medecine study. I choose those studies because I would like to be usefull and help people. My goal is to become psychiatrists for children because I think it's the best way to have happy adults in the future. Moreover, I have the wish of doing a humanitarian job if I get to become psychiatrist because I think there's to much people who can't get the support they need and they diserve.

I think my English skills are good enough to have a friendly conversation. I may need a little time to express myself (my accent is not very good) or to understand all you're saying. For my spanish it's a little bit less good because I haven't practice for a year.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here because I'd like to travel the world while meeting people and discovering new culture. For me it's the essence of traveling. I think that people in here have the same idea about traveling and want to share, for a little time, a part of their life and maybe create real friendship.

Interests

I love swimming it's something that really relax me. Being in the water, and just float is something I could do during hours.
I also have a big appetite in reading (and in food though). I read everything from polar to ingredients on my cereal box in the morning. Usually, I read with music out loud because I can't spend a minute without it. I think I'm an addict to music.
About food I eat pretty much everything except pork because I'm allergic. I love cooking even if it's not really in a high level. And I love to get dinner with my friends, outside or home cooking all together.
I love to go outside with my friends or to meet knew people. Have a big conversation about all and anything.

Music, Movies, and Books

I read, watch and listen about everything.
I'm a big fan of polar books and movies but I also like action or horror.
I think my favorite movie director are Pablo Almodovàr and Tim Burton.
I also watch a lot of series ; the last one I watch was Penny Dreadful. I'm a huge fan of How I Met Your Mother.
About music, those time I'm really fond of Elephanz, a french group, but I also listen to rap, electro, rock or classic...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My life is an extraordinary story.
But seriously, if I had to say one, I would talk about this time in Djibouti when I saw a little goat jump on a table to steal a branch of Kat (the local drug in there) to a guy who realise it few second later but it was to late to catch it.

When a simple hello led me to an amazing party night in Lisbon .

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach french and how to make crêpes and I'd love to learn anything you have to share : you're favorite place, the song you keep listening this moment or simply how you're day was and what you did.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I live in my mother's flat for the moment so I can't host but I hope to host people in my own home.
