About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Try to create a Sumo out of an anorexic cat (THE CAT FLED!!! So sad. Need to find a new mission, or a new cat)

ABOUT ME

I'm a former student in History of Arts and Archeology, I used to work in a bookshop in my hometown for almost 4 years. I'm always reading 2 or 3 books at the same time... no! of course not REALLY at the same time!!
Now, I work in a tea shop. Not where you drink tea but just buy loose tea. If you're nice, you can drink tea at my place... (Yes, I'm a dictator)

Always smiling, friendly, funny, easy going, yes I'm perfect. I like to have a tea/coffee/beer and just talk about everything, watching people walk by, sit on the grass and enjoy the sun (BREAKING NEWS: june 8th : first sunny day of the year 2016, we forgot what the sun looked like, and what sitting on the grass felt like. JOY)

I took acting class this year, and i'm so stressed about the play... but I will do it again next year, and i'm still thinking about what classes i could join (dance? any language? psychology?) because I like to learn new things.

I try to live without regrets and without hurting people, which is sometimes easier said than done. But I'm working on it and I'm getting pretty good.

I will probably end up being a (mad) old cat lady, but for now, i'm okay, don't worry.

PHILOSOPHY

Que sera, sera
whatever will be, will beeeeee (you have to sing when you read this!)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting when I can, surfing when I need and going to CS meetings!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed in different places and I hosted very different kind of people, but mostly I really enjoyed my time with them. They all had something to teach me.

Interests

Obviously : MY CAT (Update : SHE FLED that stupid $%@@&)

I read a lot (weird isn't it? considering I worked in a bookshop...), I see movies whenever I can and I would love to discover all the classics so if you're a movie addict you are more than welcome.

I love visiting new cities and making friends in them. I'm aware that you cannot be friend with someone within 3 days, but I love to feel that if we lived in the same city, we would become close.

I love food, but I don't cook. I have friends who do that for me... actually, I think that I became friend with them BECAUSE they cooked for me.

I like to draw, but I'm terrible at it.

I like photography and sometimes, I work with amazing photographers.

Music, Movies, and Books

For now, i'm listening to Cat Power, Little Richard, Mars Volta, Aretha Franklin, Florence and the machine, Sam Cook and Wax Tailor
I'm reading the song of ice and fire (game of throne), tales of the city and Anna Karénine. I love Asimov, King, Orwell, Pratchett, Calvin & Hobbes...
About movies : tideland, mr nobody, shaun of the dead, Fantastic Mr Fox are some of my favorites (more recently, I've seen and loved Interstellar, Memento, Broken Flowers and Gone Girl) but I really can see anything from boring love stories to horror movies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen my cat giving birth to 5 kittens... more disgusting than amazing though.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am not a good teacher... But when I want, I can learn quite fast.
I want to learn more languages, and this way, maybe, understand people. The best way to understand a new culture is to learn the language.
I want to learn surfing.
I want to share food (i'm quite obsessive with food) and i DON'T want to learn cooking!! I just want you to feed me hehehe

What I Can Share with Hosts

When I don't work : good time, food, beer & coffee & tea. We can visit some places in the city
When I work : my couch, some tips and FOOD FOOD FOOD

Countries I’ve Visited

Andorra, Belgium, France, Hungary, Italy, Netherlands, Scotland, Spain, United Kingdom
