About Me

This bio is a little outdated by +2 years but hey, that's still me... I'll update it at some point :D

-----
I am a very open-minded person, I love to travel and meet new friends. I'm a proud redhead with celtic roots and I love a good beer. Hence my living in Northern Ireland, Belgium, England and now Ireland :p

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life to the fullest. I love meeting new people and discovering new cultures. Trips coming up are Budapest, Tokyo/Japan and Greece...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Unfortunately I can't host but I'd like to participate in events created in Dublin. And if you're visiting , feel free to drop me a line, I'd be glad to come with you :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first experience was in Glasgow. When I was living in Northern Ireland, we went there for a few days with my housemate. We were welcomed by a couchsurfer in his beautiful house. We cooked and ate haggis with him, talked about art and went for a walk near Loch Lomond. He really opened his hearth to us and welcomed us like we were long-time friends... We really could not have had a better first time couchsurfing !

Interests

All right let's just list cool things I like:

- roller derby
- eating good meals
- drinking good wine

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a horror-lover and especially a Stephen King fanatic... I even wrote a 60-pages long thesis on translating horror during my studies.
I also enjoy a good sci-fi book.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

So this might sound a little nerdy but the most awesome thing I've seen recently is a concert called Distant Worlds : music from Final Fantasy. 72 musicians and 40 choir members perfoming songs from the video game saga Final Fantasy. Since I've been playing these games for 15 years now, it was a pretty big deal for me!!

And paragliding over the Annecy lake in France. Awesome. Breathtaking. Thrilling.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to whistle.
Seriously, I'm a very good whistler!
I can also burp on command. It's my classy French heritage.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good stories, cooking tips, my knowledge in French and English... hm what else? We'll see :)
