About Me

Hello!
I am a pretty simple lady.
My favorite activities are: eating, petting my rats and taking long walks in Paris while listening to music.

On a daily basis, my life is pretty simple : I go to classes and I spend several hours on the internet. :D [currently obsessing over american politics 0_o ]
I enjoy a good night playing boardgames with a few friends and warm cookies more than big parties and loud music ;)

I also love a good walk in nature more than museums or art expo.
Unfortunately, in Paris there is not much nature left ;)

I do like meeting new people and learning about their life or their worldview or just anything they will want to talk to me about ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am planning a few trips and I thought meeting locals would make my travel so much more fun!
I prefer to meet people, talk around a hot beverage and get a glimpse of their daily life than visit museums and historical buildings (though I can do that as well ;) ).

A good friend of mine had only really positive experiences on this website, so I will try it too!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music:
I like many kinds of music. I am not a musician or even a music lover, but I listen to music to dream and think. I especially enjoy listening to music while I walk or while I use public transport, it really makes me feel happy :)

My favorite music is often from movie soundtracks:
_ Donnie Darko soundtrack
_ Good bye Lenin! soundtrack (Yann Tiersen)
_ Amadeus soundtrack (Mozart :P )
_ Tron Legacy sountrack (Daft Punk)
_ Edward Scissorhands soundtrack (Dannie Elfman)
_ Garden State sountrack
_ The Island soundtrack
...
I love soundtracks ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Learn a foreign language just to be able to continue reading my favorite books as they stopped being published in French!

Oh and I've ridden at the back of a motorbike in Taiwan. It gave me an amazing feeling of freedom and fear that still remains in my best memories of all time :P

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach : Maths? (haha, kidding, I won't torture anyone ^^).

Learn : Everything but mostly I wanna learn about you and your life (yeah really ;) )

Share : FOOD and Beverages (oh my god, too much food talk ^^)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Laughs, chats, GOOD FOOD (though I will not cook it :P ), my time and my ears ;)

Countries I’ve Visited

Australia, Belgium, Germany, Greece, Iran, Japan, Taiwan, Thailand, United Kingdom, United States, Viet Nam
