ABOUT ME

Happy girl, always ready to meet new people and exchange ideas about everything, from music to politics, arts, books, science, ... I love to be outside, walking, hiking, breathing fresh and clean air !

PHILOSOPHY

"The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone
And I must follow, if I can."

"Make your choice, adventurous stranger,
Strike the bell and bide the danger,
Or wonder, till it drives you mad
What would have followed if you had."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet people, exchange and share whatever might be exchanged and shared

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbing a more than 3000m high mountain, the view over the Pyrenees was absolutely amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I study Renaissance / Rinascimento, but I also had class about art history from ancient Greece to the French Revolution, basically. Also knowledge in medieval funerary archaeology. Ready and happy to share it !

I started a PhD architecture history, modern period (Renaissance, XVIth century), and I'd be interested in discussing that as well. I'm working on the architecture of funeral monuments in Europe

A little bit photography and its technical aspects, but I still have to learn so much

What I Can Share with Hosts

Knowledge - of wine, cheese, good food, art history, archaeology, anything !
How to bake bread
Crêpes, quiches, tartes and tourtes
The crazy ideas my imagination comes up with :)
