Hey, couchsurfers!

I live in Mérignac, close to Bordeaux, and I'm currently willing to host people! I've only ever had cool experiences hosting people and meeting people abroad on here. Here's to more of that!
I've used couchsurfing sparsely in the past few years, but my first time meeting someone on couchsurfing was in 2016! Time flies.

You will mostly find me travelling to bigger cities, as this is where I like to explore the most. There's just something about being around so many people, and everything always being in motion, that fuels me and inspires me- but that said, I also enjoy going on hikes. Big fan of mountains.

I'm an art-oriented person. I work as a freelance graphic designer and part-time for a music label as well as other small jobs to make ends meet (currently: game master in an escape room). I'm also really interested in theater and musical theater, and I hope to find a way to combine these two interests later down the road.

I'm now back in Bordeaux, where I'm originally from, and looking to settle there for a while. If you're looking for someone to hang out or visit something with, definitely drop me a message too. I'd be happy to show you around the Bordeaux city center or go out for a drink!

Hoping everyone's having nice and safe travels!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Like you (I hope), I like travelling and meeting locals, as well as helping out fellow travellers when I can!

Interests

I'm open-minded and I love to hear about everyone's stories and interests! I generally like to do activities related to those, so if that's your thing too, it'd be great to hang out and do stuff together! I love spending time at museums or art exhibits and taking my time. I love to go see shows, movies, concerts... etc, or talking about those. Also enjoy going out for a drink and discovering new bars and cool places!

Music, Movies, and Books

I never know what to put in for these, its so hard to pick favourites... Alright; instead, have a list of the latest things I've listened to/watched/read, which may or may not be still accurate depending on how recently I've updated this, that should give you a good enough idea of who I am:

Latest movies I've watched: Footloose, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Pink Panther (yeah, the recent one with Steve Martin, sorry), Almost Famous, Witness for the Prosecution, In Bed With Victoria, Gone Girl, The Bravados

Latest series/TV shows: Community, the Walking Dead, American Vandal (twice in a row)

Latest books I've read: I think it was Edgar Allan Poe novels. Haven't read a lot of books lately, my brain must be rotting currently

Latest artists I've listened to (courtesy of my Spotify): DEVO, Cheekface, Muse, Mr. Oizo, OK Go, FIDLAR, Jonathan Coulton, Fresh, Sidney Gish, Briston Maroney, Lucy Dacus, Ben Folds, Kero Kero Bonito, Self Esteem

Latest shows I've seen: My roommate's, actually.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lockdown brought out a lot of amazing things, I've gotta say, despite it overall sucking. I finished my master's degree project (which is a video game! Insane, I never thought I'd ever be able to do that)

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: French. English. Fun facts about movie and stage musical productions. A very specific list of movie references in the tv show Community. Some funny songs on the ukulele.

Learn: I'm a slut for learning about the history of countries I don't know much about. I'm not a good cook, please teach me things. New songs on the guitar?

Share: My weird dreams, because they play out like movies and it's trippy. Literally. One time, I dreamt of a sitcom episode with the laugh track and everything.
Doing art stuff together, if you also like that? Building something with others, one collaboration at a time means a lot to me.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Everyone who hosts me gets a lil sticker of this blue dog I draw. Just a little piece of me that'll stay with you (that sentence is weird)!
