I'm a French PhD in neuroscience, I just defended my thesis a few months ago and I am now enjoying a jobless year to take time to travel and spend time on meaningful personal projects.

I will be visiting 12 countries of eastern Europe this summer, aiming to get a better view of what life is like in other European countries than France and its closest neighbours, better understand European history and discover new cultural wonders.

I am a vegetarian, feminist, concerned about social justice and part of the LGBTQIA+ community, but I am also a very quiet and adaptable person.

When in conversation, I am an enthusiastic person, easily passionate about many subjects from philosophical thoughts to molecular biology, but also fantasy worlds, art in its every form, etc.. And especially grateful for any information that is given to me, which I can add to my mental puzzle depicting the world's operating manual.

I love animals, got two cats that you can see on my profil pictures, which are currently well cared of by their dad (my ex/best friend) in Brittany. Your pets pictures will always be welcomed !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to meet people from the places I'll visit, as I would like to hear their experience of the place and have the chance to share with local people.

Interests

I am very interested in science (my PhD was in neurobiology), and in general I spend a lot of my free time reading scientific papers. I am also pationate about history, understanding how we got there, and how things work. I love spending time in museums, from any type, and I enjoy walking alone, in the woods or in the streets of an unknown city center.

Music, Movies, and Books

I grew up loving metal music, I still do but I'm now also into very diverse musical experiences. One of my favorite artist though remains Devin Townsend.
One of my sisters is an opera singer, so I often go to operas, in different countries.
I learned violin and singing as a child, also I'm learning a bit of guitar playing now, just to sing on top of it.
I love Terry Pratchett books, and I am quite a Potterhead (although not consuming official products anymore).
I see cultural media as a common language allowing us to create solid links between another.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am voluntarily creating an escape game in a medieval castle in Burgundy, for a non profit association keeping the place alive.
