CURRENT MISSION

Helping the world being a giant comfy couch. :)

ABOUT ME

Last year I finished my Master's degree in Sociolinguistics & Educational Sciences, but for the past years before that I've travelled a little, between Sweden, Berlin and Paris where I've lived and the UK, Ireland and the States where I've been visiting friends or discovering new areas.
Now boyfriend and I are moving to Edinburgh from september 2015, so he can finish his studies in History, and I can find a job or even a career (who knows?) as a French Teacher in some kind of institution...
But basically I'm an open-minded girl, who loves to travel, when I can. I'm very much attached to Great-Brittain: I've been an au-pair girl in a very small village called "Calver" and served tarts and teas in another town called "Bakewell", in Derbyshire for a few summers!
I usualy prefer cold and rainy countries, but I'm still very interested in every culture of our world.
I'm also a very talkative person, and very dynamic, love to go out, etc. I love to meet new people, especially if I can share my travelling hobby, and pieces of our mutual cultures together.

Philosophy: I try to bring a recipe from every trip so I can share my experiences through tastes and smells, which seems to me like an important part of discovering a new country and culture. AND Food is life!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I only have a little experience on CS but will try to work on that one.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been to Copenhagen, stayed with a danish girl and another French girl for 2 nights. It was really nice, got a chance to meet locals by going to a party for example.
Hosted a couple of times as well, when I was living in Berlin.
I've also CS in Dublin for a week!

Interests

I love hanging out with people, Travelling, Fashion (trying to make my own clothing but I have to say I'm not very talented especially cause I'm teaching myself but someday I'll get there). Very interested in Cultures (espacially the North European ones)and in Culture (Music, Cinema, Art...)!
I'm also a great baker especially french, swedish and british deserts. I also cook savory stuff and love to share it with whoever wants to try my delicious meals!

Music, Movies, and Books

So many different things... Hard to tell, but to make it simple, what makes me laugh makes life worth living. And what makes me laugh the most (I would only guess from what I know...): the 2 greatest series in the whole world "Spaced" and "Black Books". I just can't get enough of the British sense of humor.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think life itself is pretty amazing. But I haven't seen the most incredible thing in my life yet... Still hoping. I would love to participate to a "No pants subway ride" some day. I think this is pretty amazing. Or any other experience organised by "ImprovEverywhere" cause it's just brilliant!
Also, my goal for the two next years is to go to the Shetland Islands (Scotland) and see the northern lights that I've missed in Sweden.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to teach a few French cuisine stuff, and to learn foreigner recipes! I always travel with my recipe book...I can help people with the French language a little as I'm trained to be a French as a foreign language teacher...
I also really want to learn sign language, but it's damn hard to find a teacher!!!
