ABOUT ME

I'm very curious, I love learning new stuff : reading books, cooking, listening to music, understanding architecture... I'm interested in all kind of arts, specially theater and music.
I really love travelling and discovering different ways of living, new cultures, new music, new food.
Now that I am back in France, I would love to host so that I keep on travelling!

PHILOSOPHY

Always look on the bright side of life!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host and I couchsurf.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had a few couchsurfing experiences while I was going to India with my boyfriend, it was very intersting, it really makes you discover the country on another angle. I like the links that it creates between people that would never meet otherwise.

Interests

Music, theater, books, moovies, cooking... I cook a lot, I'm a vegetarian, even though I do eat some meat from time to time if it makes me discover other flavours.
Of course one of my passion is architecture, and I'm specially interested in eco-friendly bulding, using natural materials. One of the good things about my studies is that I learned to draw, I try to practice as much as I can, I find it very relaxing and it makes me see things in a different way.
I also do some yoga in the morning, it's a habit that I got in India. Indians make important everyday by having a kind of ritual every morning, making everyday a special day.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies,... Many, many ! I will just write the first ones that I have in mind, some titles I don't know in English : "L'année ou mes parents sont partis en vacances", "Le sel de la mer", "Exil", The monty pytons, " Tambien la lluvia", movies of Almodovar and many more !
I listen to music from all around the world, but I specially like balkanique music and music from south america ( bresilian music, salsa...). One of the few groups I like most : The Beatles, Brassens, Selim Sesler, Simon and Garfunkel, Bonga, Cesaria Evora, Buena Vista Social Club, Benda Bilili...
I also read a lot : Amine Maalouf, Albert Camus, Romain Gary, Nicolas Bouvier... I now have a thousand books in my bedroom that I want to read !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Picking peper up a bambou!! It was very scary but great experience, I enjoy peper even more now.
Also travelling from France to India without taking a plane, it was great to see how the cultures , the languages, the food, change on the way to finally get to India.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would be very happy to share about french culture, food, music...
