Overview
About Me
After living 1 year in Rīga, Latvia, for an European voluntary service in an environmental organisation, i'm back in France and working in a school. One of my aim during this year in Latvia was to travel all around the country and abroad, this is how I discovered couchsurfing.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
To meet some new people from different culture and have fun! Speak about travels (well actaully, about evrything!), discovered some place with them.
Interests
I like to hike and at the same time doing geocaching, spend my time oustide and do kayak, diving, swimming, or going to the beach to read a book and shore fishing. I like theater (especially street theater), chill out with friends, playing molky and board games.
I also like cooking (even if sometimes i fail, who is perfect?) and share dinner with friends or just have a drink in front of a concert. I love music festivals , being with a lot of people that you don't know but enjoy the music and have fun together and discover new bands. I like dancing, especially with my friends because sometimes I dance like a monkey, i'm not sure that it's allowed in a nightclub!
And of course as i am on this website it means that i like to travel and meet new people!

Of course i like movies but i'm not a ''movie buff": Tarantino, Tim Burton, Miyazaki
And about books i like nordic novel ( don't ask me why...).
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Being a voluntear for european voluntary service :)
Bobsleigh,
Swimming in a frozen river after a sauna (but i think it's not amazing and totally normal for people from the north...)
Playing rugby in a woman team,
Pretending i was working for a band to enter in a huge festival,
Steal candies when I was a child??? (i know that is not a nice thing guys....)
Teach, Learn, Share
As i'm french i can teach you some stupid french words or sentences, or also some latvian languages (and explain you a little bite the latvian culture). But i can also teach you how to make owls with cardboard (super usefull!), or flowers with plastic bags (such a beautifull decoration you would think...), i think it will be very usefull for your life!
I can try to cook for you some french dishes.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I have a sofa bed in my living room and I can show some nice places in this city and around on the britanny coast. Of course it is also possible to meet just for a drink.
