About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Make the best of what I have and meet people that influence me and influence others

ABOUT ME

I am about to finish my undergraduate degree, which is kind of scary..all this options and possibilities ahead of me that, being indecisive, does not make it very simple...but exciting!!
Well, I travelled quite a bit and love to meet people from anywhere in the world. I always thought that you can never really miss a place but only the people you met there, who made every moment there special.

I'm easy going, open to any new experience and I love to be social and go out.

I like to hear about your experiences and your opinion on things.
I like to share what I know about a place (bars, restaurants and what not), and share living experiences.

Let's go get a drink together!

PHILOSOPHY

I'm trying to come as close as possible to the ability to completely share feelings and thoughts with the people I meet. To live life through and with others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My first couchsurfing experience was during my spring break this year and it was one of the best experiences I have ever had!

I want to be an active member of this community, hosting and taking people out for a drink, and meet the fantastic community who made such a project be reality.
Due to my living situation in Barcelona I can only offer to go and get a drink and meet people, but I will always do what my possibilities allow. So maybe as soon as I get back to Paris I might be able to host someone in my new place (that I will still have to find).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I went to Barcelona during my spring break, with a friend and we stayed at three different places. Never had there been an instant connection between the people I've met as this time just because there is this mutual desire to meet and get to know each other...awesome!
Once back in University I couldn't stop telling all these people about what they are missing out on, not knowing this concept.

Interests

Many things...i love sports, to go out, music and concerts, organize dinners with friends cooking all together, reading, languages, travelling, late brunch on sunday mornings, staying in bed for JUST 10 more minutes, walk around the city with no destination in mind, listening to music, watching people smile by themselves in public spaces, be the reason for somebody's happiness, cuddling, sand between my toes...

Music, Movies, and Books

In terms of music I like a little bit of everything, especially indie rock, and then also some heavy-house and electro for clubbing. Some jazz here and there, instrumental stuff like Kaki-king or some buddha bar, classical music and modern classics like Yann Tiersen's music, known from the movie Amelie Poulin.
Books: I like Dostoevsky's Underground Man & The Brother's Karamazov. Also Barney's Version. 100 year's of solitude is definitely one of my favorites; Giovanni's Room by James Baldwin, Hopscotch by Julio Cortazar, Jorge Luis Borges's short stories...etc
I just went to see the movie Millenium (the title in english I think is: The girl with the dragon tattoo) a really great movie!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The light when I was born ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to cook (by the way my pasta dishes are famous :)

I generally like to share knowledge I have about a specific place I live in. I am very aware of what surrounds me and try to investigate every little thing. So if you need any information on where to go in Paris I'm a good person to talk to and I will be glad to help you out. For Barcelona I do know some places and already set my flag on a couple of bars I've been to but give me another couple of weeks and I'll be an expert!

I would like to share life stories with the people I meet and exchange experiences and get inspired.
