About Me

CURRENT MISSION

create a world where night wouldn't fall before 8pm and temperature would always be above 20°C

ABOUT ME

I'm just a young woman, studying ancient greek and latin (well we can't ALL be useful to society!), and even some "modern" languages, such as english, italian, russian, spanish, deutsch and dutch (trying to at least). Communication is the key to bring peace and happiness round the Earth (and I'm not a hippie, I'm just saying that it's easier to be fine and everything by just chatting than by being exploded in a war).
And I am also the kiddy master of puppets, eventually (I swear this sentence WILL make sense once you've met me)...

PHILOSOPHY

To live is to share, like it or not, and as we already share the same air, why not also share the rest: our tastes and distates, our fears, our feelings and bodies (especially our bodies obviously)? The only rule is to respect the other: whether it is human or not, male or female, catholic or bouddhist, black or white, carrot-addict or not, all these are appearances and do not matter (still I cannot help but thinking that non-carrot-addict people are weird).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Giving great pieces of advice to people from my huge experience, teaching them Life, allowing them to worship me, and, when I'm too busy for the previous things, just smiling at them and trying to share points of view about almost everything (from the pronunciation of "croissant" in french to the importance of a good make up after a party, and other intellectual subjects)..

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I used to be a free loader as a (younger) kid, but CS in itself is quite new to me.

Interests

Languages, philology, people (and anything they might share with me)(but obviousy more interested in food sharing than in points of view, although points of view about food are the best things to be shared)

  • make up
  • dining
  • chocolate
  • partying
  • traveling
  • camping
  • languages
  • beaches

Music, Movies, and Books

Any book, music or movie you present me with I will necessary read and appreciate, the important thing being that it is something to help me pretend I like you. But I have to admit that reading Harry Potter in any language I can (english, french, italian, russian, spanish, latin, ancient greek and german so far...) is my favourite hobby.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Opening my eyes, once, and just staring and grinning at the most amazing thing that (I think) can be seen: the sunlit sky. (But I also like the yoghurt strawberry german chocolate)

Teach, Learn, Share

Ive been teaching french, latin and ancient greek to young people, but I guess it goes the same with older ones. I can also teach how to share 18 square meters with 7 people, watch and yawn lazily as others do everything for you, trick people into hating you (that usually goes with the former), look condescendingly at assholes, be late at every single appointment you have in the day, tell people the truth and then laugh to make them believe you were just kidding, and many other useful things..
