About Me

A bit shy at times, I can be really outgoing once you get to know me.
I'm the biggest nerd about movies, TV shows, books, and everything fandom related. I gladly share my passions with others. I also like being surrounded by nature and animals (huge dog person!), and I especially love my two chickens: HeiHei and Tatin.
I'm a bookseller specialized in Children's Literature who doesn't really know what to do with her life yet. I like to write and take pictures. Maybe work in entertainments some day?
I can't stand injustices and dishonesty. What I look for in life? Genuine acts of kindness and bravery. I love to smile and laugh, enjoy the quiet moments of life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm new on Couchsurfing! I've never done that before and I'm really excited to start :)

Although I hide it pretty well, I have anxiety: travelling and meeting new people is a big deal to me. I've always wanted to discover the world and share genuine moments with others, but I've been too afraid to actually do it. Until now.
Look out World, here I come!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I love all kinds of music (mostly rock/pop/swing/electro-swing), but I'm really passionate about soundtracks and scores. My all-time favorite composers are Hans Zimmer, John Powell, Alan Silvestri, Junkie XL, Thomas & David Newman, Howard Shore, Alan Menken, Alexandre Desplat, Rachel Portman, Philip Glass, etc.

Movies: SO. MANY.
Matilda, The Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, everything by Spielberg (The Color Purple and Hook are my favorites), everything by Joss Whedon, Arsenic and Old Lace, Spaceballs (and all of Mel Brooks' movies), The Goonies, Cloud Atlas, Garden State, Forrest Gump, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Mad Max Fury Road, Will Hunting, Lilo & Stitch, Beauty and the Beast, The Cornetto Trilogy, Mrs Doubtfire, One Week, The Illusionist, Willow, Austenland, Waitress, The Freedom Writers Diary, etc.

Books: Again. So. Many.
The BFG, Harry Potter, Cyrano de Bergerac, How I Live Now, Life on the Refrigerator Door, Jonas le Requin Mécanique, Fangirl, Speak, The Princess Bride, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Harold and Maud, Carry On, Fortunately the Milk, The Spook's Apprentice, A Series of Unfortunate Events, Maintenant qu'il fait tout le temps nuit sur toi, etc.

TV Shows: Don't even get me started.
Basically, anything nerdy. Chuck might be my all-time favorite. With Firefly. The IT Crowd, Spaced, Black Books, Doctor Who, Torchwood, Buffy, Agents of SHIELD, Fringe, Scrubs, Psych, Miss Fisher, 2 Broke Girls, Game of Thrones, Raising Hope, Friends, Dawson's Creek, Spin City, Veronica Mars, Castle, etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Not much yet actually...
Binge-watching the five seasons of Chuck in less than ten days?
Doing a Harry Potter Marathon in Paris' biggest cinema?
Does that count?

Oh wait: I wrote a book! Wasn't published or anything, but it's there, written, with a beginning, a middle and an ending. I've also exposed some of my photographs when I was in college.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My passion for books, movies, tv shows and music. I can recommend anything based on your tastes. I can also provide great comfort (I'm a good listener, and I make GREAT hot chocolates).
I'm not bad at taking pictures, and my favorites are portraits (if you're looking for new profile pics!).
I've been told I'm quiet funny.
