CURRENT MISSION

/// I'm not able to host anyone, I wish you good luck to all :) ! ///

ABOUT ME

I am a sponge who loves to absorb all she can. A sponge with her feet in the mud and her head somewhere over the rainbow. I can say that being positive became a second nature. I do my best to listen to learn and talk when it's time. I love to improvise, but I don't know how to make choices, I would like all the options ! Enjoy spending my time making objects and characters, just for the pleasure of fiddle with my hands.

After architecture studies I'll continue to study SPACE, by telling stories with it, more precisely set design at the National Theater in Strasbourg .

PHILOSOPHY

Progress, learn and always smile
Tolerance and flexible mind !
Take care of Earth and Humans.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

////I'm not able to host anyone right now /////
I wish a good luck to all

Surfing the waves.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I used coushsurfing a lot during Erasmus time in Austria, Graz. Now I'm more quiet and got a lot of work studying in Strasbourg.

I meanly surfed, usually combined with hitchhiking is perfect. I wish I could host surfers also to give back the great moments I had but it's not possible for the moment anymore. These two practices fit with a certain idea of traveling I have : enriching myself humanely , learning from the locals and the travelers I meet, take time to watch and breathe, not being in a hurry to visit, focus on the present moment and improvise.

First time in the CS adventure in New York with my dad in 2013 !
Surfed also in Austria, Slovenia, Croatia and France.

Interessi

I like a lot of things but my favorite hobby is drawing. I need to draw, it's my only addiction !

I like singing and improvise , theater and dance, writing dreams, taking photos with my mind or with my analogue camera, architecture, spending hours to observe the place I am and the people living in this place, working with wood, tree huts, veggie food, hitchhiking, knitting, dumpster diving and food sharing, meeting people in the street ( just because they catch my eyes by their smile), and taking time to do something good. Eating slowly, closing my eyes. Try it, you will appreciate better ! Dancing for nothing, every time I can. Imaging spaces to live and stories to tell.

Insegna, impara, condividi

I could show you how to eat good cheese with good Bordeaux wine with a lovely french accent, how to do a magic infusion with plants, I can share my passion of drawing or also how to knit. I like cooking even if I am not a super cooker (but I'm French, which is a good advantage as I heard !)

I'd like to learn more about Nature in general, all kind of handwork, survival techniques, vegetarian food, permaculture and DIY. Also improving my spanish and German !
