Overview
About Me
Hi, I'm a 23 yo french girl, passionate a about alternative ways of living of all kinds. I try to be as much open minded and non judgemental as I can to understand people's life style.
In the (far away) future I'd like to build a selfsustainable place to have a family and show People that other ways are not a fantasy or utopia.
I'm also a cabinet maker and painter, and use to restaure old furniture. I like to do manual work, and build things, also teach People how to do it themselves. I'm very curious about most things and I want to gather the most knowledge I can to be able to share it with others.
I'm from a very small village so I like nature way more than city, even though I can adapt to it. I'm definitely a wildcamping lover and I like most outdoor activities (hiking, kayaking, skiing...). I'm alway open to discover something I never did, and even if I'm not a really sportive person I try my best !
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Because it's an awesome way to travel, and make friends all over the world.
I spent some unforgivable moment with peoples I met on couchsurfing, and I hope to continue.
I use other ways to stay while I travel, but couchsurfing is still one that I truly enjoy.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to a lot of music, traditional musics of all sorts of countries, punk rock, rap music, electronics, blues..
I watch all kinds of movies, except romantic ones I don't really like..
I am a book afficionado, some I really love :
-Just Kids by Patti Smith- The Perfume, story of a murderer by Patrick Suskind- Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I volunteered in à permaculture farm in Slovenia for a month and haalf during the winter and that was one the Best experiences I had so far.
I discovered squats recently and through this helped some serbian activists to prépare themselves for the winter on a abandonned tilted boat on the sava river, that was as well anunforgivable time

I'm ready to share everything I can with my hosts, If you want to learn some french I can help you,
I can give you advice in woodworking and furniture restauration, and also painting/drawing if you are interested.
I learn harmonica for now so if you play some and have some advices to give me, I'll be glad. And I'm happy to receive advices in almost everything !
I want to learn from the hosts I stay with, I'm curious about everything, I'm just so sad I can't learn everything in one life.

What I Can Share with Hosts
Stories, conversations and good time.
I can cook for you while I'm here, I have a french passion about food !
Also, I'm kind of a handywoman, because I studied and worked in woodworking, so I can share that with you if you need it.
