CURRENT MISSION

Meeting new people around Valence and possibly from other countries!

ABOUT ME

I'm a french teacher since september 2012. But I'm also an artist (mostly in drawing, but also a little in painting), and I've participated in 4 exhibitions since 2009 around Orléans.
I'm also curious about discovering new people, or cities, art places... I'd love improving my English or my Spanish, but don't have so many opportunities to do it. I'd be glad to learn other languages too! I'm a reasonnably calm person, but I also like exhuberant people. And I'm a bit feminist...

PHILOSOPHY

Never give up!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've made my 1st CS experience in Berlin (april 2010), travelling with Pierre my boyfriend, aged same as me and who's also an artist (painting). We were both excited about meeting people from different countries and cultures, trying to explain ourselves with a homemade English language. We intended to exchange about our mutual experiences and discover good places to go, maybe with our hosts. We cook tasty French cuisine, specially Pierre who used to be a professional cook, but I do it well too.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Berlin, april 2010: we spent a few nights there and had our 1st CS Experience with 2 different hosts

Interests

Arts, literature, and also sports such as cycling, swimming, running. I like lots of different sorts of music and I'm always interested in listening something I've never heard of. I really enjoy being outside among the countryside,to cool down, and refill my energy, but also to spend my energy in sports... I'm fond of speaking and discovering foreign languages and would really like to get in touch with other cultures, ways of life and thinking.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watching the sky changing, turning into different colours and lightings, specially at dusk, is something strong that makes me feel happy and vulnerable

I love learning languages... I guess I could teach drawing, or how to cook French cuisine, for example.
