CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

As I am a cabin crew, my roster is quite often changed with a short notice. Do get in touch with no more than two or three weeks in advance please :)

I'm 23, I'm generous, trustworthy, hardworking and want to make something out of my life. I may look shy and withdrawn but, in hindsight, people tell me I gradually reveal my personality as I get along with them... I really like meeting people from everywhere, with all backgrounds. I hate clichés which I always try to challenge and want to make my own opinion of things. At last, I happen to be gay. It's part of my personality but it's not in the foreground. You'll obviously come across my homosexuality as you get to know me but again, it's not fundamental...

PHILOSOPHY

I've got only one life so I want to live life to the fullest. Croquez la vie à pleines dents!

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I discovered CS through a French radio (France Inter) and I really found the concept interesting. I just wanted to participate by joining the community which is open to everyone, and I like that.

Interessen

I love being with my boyfriend, reading, chatting, wandering the streets of Paris and looking up in the sky, working on my English university stuff, travelling, cooking, clubbing, having a drink with my friends, learning new languages, talking to people I have never met, anything that is related to aviation (I can spend hours watching aircraft behind the fence of an airport and I'm like a child discovering the world every time I get on a plane...).

These are the films I enjoyed : Match Point, L'Auberge Espagnole, The Queen, The Last King of Scotland, Braveheart, Sweet Sixteen, Devil wears Prada, Disney, My Best Friend's Wedding, Million Dollar Baby, Milk, The King's Speech, Black Swan.

I love listening to music. It really enables me to escape everyday life when I'm down in the dumps. Many tracks are associated with memories which is cool when these are good !

At last, reading is definitely my favourite activity. Here are the books which struck me : The Picture of Dorian Gray, Longman Pronunciation Dictionary, The Little Prince, Short Cuts, Bartleby, Black Like Me, Beloved, ANY Lonely Planet.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

I listened to the silence in the Malian countryside. Silence has a sound!

I went hiking in the Tiger Leaping Gorge for three days with some people I met randomly. This is life.
