About Me

- Being happy is the thing I like the most! New adventures are awesome, certainly when they are unexpected!
- Talk, laugh, listen and enjoy life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I'm still too much in my comfort zone, new adventures abroad are waiting, and because meeting new people is always nice!

Interests

I love to dance, rather with two than alone!
Scottish, mazurka, wals, a little bit lindy hop, ...

Music: I cannot stop gathering new instruments, or try just to play them.
Piano, guitar, singing cannot disappear out of my life.

Eating, omg I like to eat, and I'm not the biggest chef, but sometimes I like to cook.

Furthermore I'm graduated as teacher in music (for highschool kids), and at this moment I'm in my masteryears of educational sciences. I like to learn new things, but I don't always like to study (student clichés...)

Music, Movies, and Books

I like a lot of music: folk, jazz, classical, pop, nineties, reggae, ska, blues, ...
I like to dance balfolk and lindy hop.

Movies: le fabuleux destin d'amelie poulain (+ the music in it!); midnight in paris (again + the music!); before sunset-sunrise-midnight; the lovely bones (because the book is also beautiful)

Books: millenium trilogy, earth's children, bel-ami, harry potter (best books to learn new languages)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once I was afraid of big heights and some friends told me to jump from a bridge in the water. It was awesome!
Now ten years later I decided to take this new step in life, leaving everything of worries behind and I jumped of a bridge (kind of bungeejumping).

Teach, Learn, Share

Please ask me to dance with two,
ask me to sing and play some music for you.
Talk, laugh, and let's cook,
or tell me about your favorite book.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'd like to see the cities I know from your perspective, because sometimes the most beautiful things nearby are a mystery for yourself.

Countries I’ve Visited
