About Me

A twenty-eight-year-old girl, an art history student, a coffee enthusiast, a freebird, a (secret) writer. Loves not knowing if it's late night or early morning, starting days with good music, traveling aroung, nightly storytelling. Loves these Parisian nights where you end up dancing in the streets with a homeless man and his dog because you figured out that you enjoy the same kind of music, loves when people wake up and they can be nothing but honest. Loves hiking and nature and going on adventures. Also loves staying at home, reading, unexpected conversations with strangers in cafés. Loves taking pleasures in small things.

For some years I've been living between Paris and Berlin, working for an German art magazine and for a contemporary art gallery in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, steeped in history. I so enjoy both cities - Berlin for its lightness, Paris for its bohemian scene, those jazz nights in unexpected places, endless artistic opportunities, so many people to meet, so many stories, so many different perspectives and thoughts. But of course that's adaptable to every city you come to with an open heart and mind.

I love sharing, whether it's a song, a beer, an experience, a cigarette. I have a tremendous confidence in life and I believe everyone who crosses our path does so for a reason.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe in the words of Jeanette LeBlanc ...

“Go now, and live.
Experience. Dream. Risk. Close your eyes and jump. Enjoy the freefall. Choose exhilaration over comfort. Choose magic over predictability. Choose potential over safety. Wake up to the magic of everyday life. Make friends with your intuition. Trust your gut. Discover the beauty of uncertainty. Know yourself fully before you make promises to another. Make millions of mistakes so that you will know how to choose what you really need. Know when to hold on and when to let go. Love hard and often and without reservation. Seek knowledge. Open yourself to possibility. Keep your heart open, your head high and your spirit free. Embrace your darkness along with your light. Be wrong everyday once in a while, and don't be afraid to admit it. Awaken to the brilliance in ordinary moments. Tell the truth about yourself no matter what the cost. Own your reality without apology. See goodness in the world. Be Bold. Be Fierce. Be Grateful. Be Wild, Crazy and Gloriously Free. Be You.
Go now, and live.”

... and I believe in sharing this way of thinking, in sharing moments, wisdom, love, experiences, stories and cigarettes.
