About Me

Isn't it difficult to describe our self??
Well... Let's start!
I'm 20 years old, as Frenchy as possible! I'm currently studying life sciences in Paris and I will newt year enter in Master in Education in Jyvaskyla in Finland.
I am a bit musician, a bit sportive, a bit traveler, a bit farmer, a bit baker and a lot student (just for now)!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Just about the concept, to share with other people!! Everyone of us have something interesting to share, that no one else have, I'm happy to share my something and to learn about the something of other people!

Interests

My first interest is linked to my studies, indeed, it's what I'm doing full time now. I'm fully interested in life sciences and to learn about the living world around us, but also about the transition of this knowledge. I have discovered a real interest in education: “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” (Nelson Mandela) and how doesn't want to change our world to make it better?!
Then I have a lot more interests such as music as I started music (cello & piano) at the age of 6, but also sport.

  • education
  • music
  • piano
  • cycling
  • sports
  • teaching

Music, Movies, and Books

I like classical music, due to my musical education, and in particular Chopin, Bach, Rachmaninoff, Vivaldi...
And at the same time, far from classical I listen mostly reggae (SOJA, Rebelution, Iration, Passafire...).
About movies!! I'm a bit fan of Mandela and a like rugby, so the perfect combination: Invictus from Clint Easwood. And an old film I recently discovered and I fall in love with: Pay It Forward. You need to see this movie ;)
Do you know about Ted Talks?! Here are few of my preferred talks:
- http://www.ted.com/talks/louie_schwartzberg_nature_beauty_gratitude?language=en
- http://www.ted.com/talks/stacey_kramer_the_best_gift_i_ever_survived
- http://www.ted.com/talks/ken_robinson_says_schools_kill_creativity?language=en
- And a lot more...
Reading, reading... Unfortunately I don't find the time to read a lot, I don't have any good books to share...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm still young so I'm working on something really amazing! But for now one of my best experience was a two weeks trip just one the bike. With a friend, we biked the french part of the "Route of Santiago de Compostella", the Spanish part is for soon!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm playing music (piano & cello) since I'm 6. I would be happy to listen to music and play with you :) And I'm now trying to learn the ukulele.
I would be happy to discuss about scientific issues like GMOs, global warming...

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would do my best to share all my happiness and positivism!! Share my good plans about France if my hosts want to come to France.
