hello hi!

from bordeaux, been living in Paris for 3 years after a couple of years in montreal. recently finished my master's in political science, currently working odd jobs until I (hopefully lol) find interesting/viable work. I recently started hosting but I live in a studio so it's not very comfortable, I therefore don't host for more than a couple of nights and only occasionally. happy to meet up if I'm free or send recommendations though !

ALSO hate to not be all fun and chill but due to some of the messages/profiles/requests I see here: this is NOT a dating app please check yourselves! even if you don't think you're being creepy! (a lot of you are! like even just hosting only females as a male is NOT reassuring) and it sucks to have to be eeeextra careful so plz plz don't be creeps🥰 thx

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’ve met lots of cool people and discovered cool experiences, places and events only locals would have known about through couchsurfing so I really love it here! (+ I get to spend more money on food and museums which is always nice hehe).

one of my flatmates in Edinburgh and I also hosted couchsurfers for a while and that was lots of fun as well (got our other flatmates a bit tired but it was fun! hopefully I can host again once my living situation allows it)

Interests

I love walking around, visiting art galleries, hiking, going out for food , watching movies, hanging out with friends, reading, going to concerts, partying, ... nothing very original but I'm down for most things!
I love hot chocolate, thrift shops, vegetarian food, and I really appreciate art although I'm not good at making it!
(I've been sketching while traveling though and post my drawings on @lolosdoodling! scary ahah)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

when I went to my first life-drawing class we were all sitting on pianos and there was a live cello player performing at the same time and the people around me were all super talented! quite cool

Teach, Learn, Share

happy to trade music, movie or book recommandations and recipes!
I'd be happy to practice my Spanish or get back to learning Arabic, and can chat in French if anyone wants to!

I've been wanting to learn how to develop/print film photos and to make more things in general (art, clothes, jewelry) so if these are things you're into it'd be amazing to do that together!

I can make crêpes, chat (get frustrated) about politics, get you started growing avo trees (random and not hard technically ahah but I love free plants idk) and mainly: offer company doing literally anything you enjoy or have been wanting to try (yoga! thrift shops! picnics in the sun! concerts cooking raves skydiving you name it I’m usually down if I can afford it!)

What I Can Share with Hosts

would be happy to share movie/book/music recommendations, cook a meal for or with you, and
also just conversation in general!
(also I get that hosts can be busy! will adapt!)
