Overview
About Me
I'm French and I study history at Sciences Po Paris. I love travelling and meeting new people. Don't hesitate to shoot me a message :)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I think that sharing is a huge part of the travelling experience, an d I want to travel off the beaten track as much as I can :)
Interests
I am a huge history fan, my favourite period being modern history (XXth century mostly). I love museums, obviously. But what I like most is to discover traces of the past that are still out there : old buildings, ruins... Even the smallest stone carving can bear an exciting testimony to the past !

Music, Movies, and Books
I listen to a wide range of music, going from rock to rap to reggae or classical music. But I particularly like French music. My favorites singers would have to be Jacques Brel and Léo Ferré. There's also this song by Yves Montand that I love : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xo1C6E7jbPw
As to movies, we would have to discuss it in person... but if I had to choose only one, it would be Paths of Glory by Kubrick.
And my favorite authors are Joseph Kessel, Hemingway, JM Guenassia and André Gide.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I couchsurfed in Iran for 2 weeks and it was one of the best experiences in my life.
I also staffed at a film festival
But most of all, I took part in the restauration of a WW1 trench in Eastern France!
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can teach you French and a little bit of Spanish; I can also cook, sing, tell jokes and share tons of historical anecdotes about everything with you.
Anyways I'm cheerful, open to new experiences and I can't wait to meet you to start new adventures!
