Hi! my name is Marie, I'm from Belgium. I studied french and spanish literature, and currently live and work in Clermont-Ferrand.
I love travelling and meeting new people, and I see couchsurfing as an amazing way to do both at the same time!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting the locals while travelling is essential for me and couchsurfing is in my opinion the best way to do that because it gives you the opportunity to really get to know the people, find out about the way they live and share experiences!

Interests

I love literature, theatre, cinema, music (and singing), learning new stuff (like languages, playing the guitar, drawing,...) and travelling!

Music, Movies, and Books

"Ficciones", Borges; "Belle du seigneur", Albert Cohen; "Sophie's choice", William Styron; all of Jane Austen, Nancy Huston, Toni Morrison,...
80s french tacky music; MPB; Adam Green; Belle & Sebastian;...

Teach, Learn, Share

A quote I like and that summarizes the way I try to look at this crazy world: "If you think you are too small to have an impact, try going to bed with a mosquito in the room"
I can teach you some French, how to cook vegetarian food, how to make the best mousse au chocolat !
I love talking about cultures, society, literature, culture & arts politics, education.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I like cooking for other people (and I also like eating, obviously....)! Oh, and I'm vegetarian.
Besides food, I'd be happy to share experiences, travel tips, fun stories,...
