Overview
About Me
Hey !
I grew up in Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam with my British family, and where I went to a French high school. Le Français 'in the pocket', we moved to France to do our higher studies. I'm currently studying medicine and probably will be for a while !
I am chilled, easy going and go with the flow when on holiday even though in school time like to be organised.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I've travelled a lot as our summer holidays were spent either in the UK with family, touring Europe, or discovering new parts of Asia.

Music, Movies, and Books
My iPod is wonderful chaos ! There is my Dad's music from the 80's, my boyfriend's indie and French 'real rap' music and odds and sods that I've gathered over the years.
To be honest, if the lyrics are worth listening to and if the melody works, then I'll happily listen to it.
My favourite films have meaning, either because they are denouncing something important : Billy Elliot, the suffragettes, Samba .. and films that accord a lot of importance to the script like : The History Boys (Alan Bennett) and films that just illustrate life : Le dernier jour du reste de ma vie, What to do on our holiday...
I enjoy watching low budget films and support young film makers : Nikon concours de court métrage
I'm not a bookworm, but I do enjoy a good book when I have the time.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Went trekking in a leech infested jungle and got bitten by a leech on the lip and then saw one come out of the bottom of my trousers seeping with blood.
Teach, Learn, Share
I am passionate about learning new cultures from the inside. Learning the art of the language, not just the grammar.

I'm not just a pretty face, I enjoy great conversation that I would love to share with you.
