Hi, everyone ! My name is Margaux, (pronouns they/she), I'm a 26 y.o queer artist based in Marseille, FR. I can make schnitzels, puns, songs and clothes... I'm very outgoing and i can't wait to meet yall !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think that getting to know a city goes through connecting with its inhabitants, and what could help doing that more than staying at theirs' ?

Interests

I am very fond of anything artistic and creative. I draw since I'm a kid, I can paint and mold... I also really enjoy writing, and singing while playing the piano, the guitar or the ukulele, for myself or for people.

Music, Movies, and Books

- Music : I listen to all sorts of bands and singers as long as I like what they do - I barely have faves, so, let's say, Son Lux, Odezenne, Kasabian, Of Monsters and Men, Gramatik, Bob Dylan, Alt-J... among hundreds of others.

- Movies : Thelma and Louise, Kick-Ass, Mr Nobody, Les 400 Coups, most of Xavier Dolan's movies, and so many more that I can't remember the name of.
- Animation movies : Fantasia, Up, Persepolis, Porco Rosso, la Linea...

- Books : Habibi, The Sculptor, Le Processus, Le Piano Oriental...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

During Summer 2015 and 2017, I worked as a street portrait artist during two weeks in front of the famous English-speaking parisian bookstore Shakespeare And Company, which led to tons of amazing encounters and new friends all around the world. Hopefully couchsurfing will bring this experience back !

In Spring 2016 I lived and worked in the Israeli desert as a laundress and then as a farmer, all of which taught me hard work and perseverance. Then in the summer I went all around Europe, alone or with friends, and I volunteered with refugees in Serbia, at the end of my trip.

I have a lot of hitchhiking bedtime stories to tell, if you're interested !

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach French, English and a bit of Hebrew. I would really like to learn Russian, Spanish and any other language you can teach me ! I can cook, sew, play the music and share it, share conversations about mostly anything.
