ABOUT ME

/Recently came back on CS after a few years/
I was born in Dunkerque (Dunkirk) in Northern France.
I studied English for a few years and still need to learn a lot. So I enjoy any opportunity to practice. I can speak Spanish as well even though it is quite basic.
I mostly like honesty and friendliness : two common things but not for everyone I guess. Would consider myself open-minded and curious.
I'm fond of music and love walking. Definitely enjoy cooking and discovering new ingredients.
> Mostly vegetarian/vegan food.

PHILOSOPHY

"We're all in the gutter but some of us are looking at the stars" Oscar Wilde.

"On ne voit bien qu'avec le coeur. L'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux." Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

For sharing funny moments with people and learning about languages and loads of things.

My experience :

Mainly in the UK as a traveller, Lille and Granada (Andalusia) as a host. I met some people in Northern England and Scotland on 2 different trips when I was a French assistant in North Yorkshire. I hosted a few people in Lille and Granada.
