ABOUT ME
I am a sociable, curious, talkative and creative woman of 35 year old, living in Lyon since 13 years now.
I'm working as a teacher at college and I’m also photographer. I share a photo studio with two other artists in Lyon. I only work with filmphotography and develop all my films myself. I mainly work on portraits, body, landscape and street photography in a poetic way, I work as an autor and love to tell stories with my photos.
It’s a true passion!
I always travel with my camera and a lot of films and love saving my memories and emotions during the travel on the film, go back home, waiting some days and finally discover the result of my work! it's very emotional!

PHILOSOPHY
"La force de l'errance, c'est de m'avoir permis de vivre, un certain temps, dans le présent. "
Raymond Depardon

Which is in english something like that :
The strength of wandering is to have allowed me to live for a while in the present.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I used CS few years ago as host twice and as guest just once and it was a great and rewarding experience but didin’t know really why, I didin’t go on!

Recently I travelled in Thaïland for 3 weeks by myself and stayed to guests houses at nihgt. I really enjoyed my trip but also really regretted not having meet more people in this country.

I decided to go back on the CS site because I reallized that it’s a really chance having the opportunity to meet people from all over the world sharing simples and authentic moments.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The romantic one:
When i shared an appartment with my sister many years ago, we hosted an Italian guy named Ezzio! a very nice and interesting person! He travelled the world since many years, didn't have his own appartement, and realised films from all over the world. At that time, he worked on a little film, a Western Spaghetti! He would like to go to Lyon because there was a big CS party in Lyon at that time! And he knew that a girl met fews months ago in Poland will be there! We went to this party with him. Finally, this girl was there! he was in love with her! They met at this party and decided to keep travelling together! it was a nice story! Few months after, I learned that his film was awarded in a Film Festival in Lyon!
