About Me

I am kind and love to make people feel at home. I'm quite calm and reserved so I don't really envoy going out on clubs or partying, but if you'd like a host with whom you can relax and share a cup of tea, I'm good at that. I've always enjoyed learning new languages, and traveling. Learning facts in general. I studied linguistics for 3 years and now I'm moving on to cognitive sciences, which is a really amazing field !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To learn about new cultures, share delightful conversation, broaden my mind.. Meeting new interesting people around the world !

Interests

Traveling, meeting new people and learning about their culture, language and lifestyle. There is such a range of diversity within this world and I'd love to encounter most of it. I like philosophy a lot, learning ideas people had about life so far from their experience.
I also like sport like cycling, swimming, and yoga (although it way not be considered as a sport). I love drawing stuff and reading on my freetime. I also play the harp.

PHILOSOPHY
Make the most of the present moment.

Music, Movies, and Books

Norwegian folk, celtic music, classical, pop... Anything really, depends on the mood. I've read a lot of french litterature, otherwise I read mostly articles for my studies now. As for English litterature, my favorite author is PG Wodehouse. I don't have a favorite type of movie because (please don't sigh with an astonished fright) I don't like watching films or going to the cinemas. I like going to the theatre though !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'd say being on couchsurfing :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm ready to learn anything you're willing to teach me (especially if it's crafty and artistic). Also please tell me what your favorite fruit is in your request (I do that to avoid copy/paste and want to make sure you have properly read my profile). I could teach you french idioms and origami ;)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would be delighted to show you around town (depending on my availability), and give you information about France in general. I've lived in Paris and Lyon so I can help you with these cites if you plan to visit them. Take you or indicate you places were locals usually go, give a french lifestyle experience haha ! I can also cook for you.

PS : I have a job so please do not come back home too late and also you'll have to leave with me during the day but my working hours are not fixed, sometimes I can work from home, so that's flexible.
