About Me

I am a 24 year-old girl from the Paris's surburb with a strong will to travel and meet people from all over the world. I am very open-minded and strongly opposed to oppressions of any kind. I appreciate spending time in nature and sharing simple moments with people enjoying life. I am not particularly shy so I am comfortable meeting new people and spending time with them. And, most of all, I love laughing !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing to fulfil my desire to travel and encounter people sharing my vision of life. I am so eager to discover all those new places our world has to offer and to meet all these wonderful people living there, willing to introduce their town and share their way of life.

Interests

I am into reading, art and exhibitions, drawing, singing, listening to music and see bands performing, loving and protecting animals, going out, walking around, hiking, surfing, snowboarding, longboarding...

Music, Movies, and Books

Music : I listen to pop/rock stuff like Supertramp, Aerosmith, David Bowie, Foals, The Black Keys, Hanni el Khatib, Iggy Pop, Queen, REM, and so on. I also like a good rap such as Run DMC or Gym Class Heroes, but I don't know that much rap artists... For the nights out, my favorite kind is Drum'n'bass. I also go more classical sometimes with some Mozart, Chopin or in another genre, Louis Amstrong (not for my nights out since they're dead, obviously).

Movies : my newly favorite film ever is a short movie/documentary by Maurice Pialat called "L'amour existe". It deals with the evolution of the parisian suburb and is really moving. Other movies I love : "Mr Nobody", "A Clockwork Orange", "Twin Peaks : Fire Walk With Me", "Das Cabinet Des Dr Caligari", "Twelve Monkeys", "American Psycho", "Chasing Mavericks", "Dallas Buyers Club", "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind", "Jeune et Jolie" "Strangers on a train", "Mysterious Skin", "Shame", "Trainspotting", "12 hommes en colère "

Books : "La mort heureuse" by Albert Camus, "Les racines du ciel" by Romain Gary (even if I recently discovered he wrote an incredibly sexist article, this book is amazing), "Le misanthrope" by Molière, "Matin Brun" by Franck Pavloff, "Waiting for Godot" by Samuel Beckett, "Animal Farm, a fairy story" by George Orwell, "Le Parfum d'Adam" by Jean-Christophe Ruffin, "Flowers for Algernon" by Daniel Keyes, "L"arrache-coeur" by Boris Vian

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach some French and introduce you to vegan food if it is an UFO to you (not that I am a fantastic cook, but I can tell you it's wayyyy tastier than you imagine). I'd also like to share culture talking about art, music, poetry, or whatever you're into, I'll be interested. My dream is also to speak all the languages in the world (no, don't tell me that's impossible), so if you're willing to teach the basis of yours, I'll be there !

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share a smile, good vibes and great times.
