Hi there,

I'm Lili, living in - my beloved city of - Paris with a marvellous and smooth white furry four times legged creature (vernacular : cat).

My head is a land sown with various random interests (presently focused on learning human anatomy and neurology), languages, creative words and actions, a long life story and a bunch of ideals ; my place is a cosy dovetailing of fragrant spices and teas, filled with music, movies, books, art tools and board games.

I studied law at university, but I actually studied more things out of it ; I'm a learner.
Also a clown, a thinker and a maker, a teacher, a writer, a cooker, a carpenter, a singer, a poker player, a photographer, a geek, a basketball player..
And a girl in a wheelchair.

One of my jobs is to be a text proofreader (PHD thesis, articles, etc.) and sometimes a ghost writer and I really like it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hotels are what I call "cold places" where it's easy to rest, but that make us stay in a kinda bubble. .. so maybe I could share a bit of my bubble with you, and you a bit of yours with me ; maybe we could go out of our bubbles.

Also, let's be more like this : open to people who are potentially very different from us, giving a hand, being there, experiencing and sharing - with no matter of money but with enthusiasm, gratitude and respect.

Interests

I love moving and talking but also being calm by myself.
I like my home, just as I'm looking for the unknown.
Just need all of them.

I like art - and it doesn't belong to museums.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Younger, I won several national poetry awards.
I still write, sometimes.

Teach, Learn, Share

A certain vision of life, respect, ideas and ideals, open-minded discussions, random very different things, home made food and drinks, long talks and good moments.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I got not preconceived idea on how it should happen, when I host someone or when someone hosts me.

If we can and we feel like spending much time together, then it can be that way, but if we can't or don't feel like it, it's fine too.

I'm an adaptative - and caring - human being : we'll find our way, no pressure :)
