Hello, my name is Fanny. I am a freelance writer and filmmaker passionate about travel, food, wine, film & music. Many things! I write and make films, and have just begun writing music too. I am lucky enough to have the freedom to work from wherever I choose to live.

Australian of origin, I currently reside in France and divide my time between Paris and Normandy. I have been travelling for the last 6 months, meeting new people, shooting some films. Now I am settling in France for the looming winter!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have spent the last three years working as a nanny while studying full-time in Melbourne. When I graduated in December 2016 I got on the first flight to France. I have spent a lot of time abroad since I was a kid, and I have worked as an au pair in France in the past. My current base is Normandy - but I am seeking work in Paris and hope to move there soon for good!

I am a socially sensitive bird and love quality conversation and nothing excites me more than a throwing around ideas for hours across the dinner table. But I am also happy to give you your own space when you need it.

I have spent the past six years living independently in various environments and households, so I am level-headed and emotionally sensitive.

I love creating. I love cooking. Spending time in the kitchen is very important to me. I cook and eat all the things - but I value local and seasonal produce above and beyond all.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to write a screenplay, how to use a (video) camera, edit the footage... create your own films! Anything within the kitchen, I would love to share and learn - teach me what you know about home cooking!
