About Me

ABOUT ME

Half French, half German, I can sometimes talk for hours, and sometimes just keep silent for a long time too. I laugh a lot, love cooking and eating afterwards and a lot more.

PHILOSOPHY

"Vous au moins, vous ne risquez pas d'être un légume, puisque même un artichaut a du coeur."

Music, Movies, and Books

If I had to pick... (I know it's almost hard to do, and quite impossible, but I'll do it, even if I think I got quite eclectic taste)

a band: Sigur Ros
a book: 1984, Orwell
a philosopher: Foucault (or Deleuze -- ok, I couldn't make a choice!)
a movie: Only Lovers Left Alive , Jarmush

I am currently...
reading: too many books at once: Le mythe de Sisyphe from Albert Camus and the autobiography of Carrie Braunstein... among others.
listing to: rediscovering Bjork's last album Vulnicura
Last movie I watched: Paterson (not best Jarmush movie I ever watched but still worth it!)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Having let my beer freeze on the beach in Latvia. (yup, for me it is amazing!)

Teach, Learn, Share

I love languages, but I'm a desesperate case... Since I haven't learned German in books, with a real teacher and stuff (thanks mommy!), it's quite difficult for me to learn an other language. I have been learning Russian for 3 years yet, but I am still unable to say a correct sentence. I started Icelandic, Dutch, and this semester Latvian but I'm not patient enough to learn every thing from the beginning. So maybe, you could try to teach me your language :) But be sure, I'll fail :D

Otherwise we could do some origami together, or cook, I love cooking, aspecially with/for friends !

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories, laughter, food (and much more I hope!)

Countries I’ve Visited

Czech Republic, Estonia, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal, United Kingdom, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In
