Overview
About Me
I'm leaving Toulouse, so I'm sorry I can't host at the moment. As soon as I have my new flat, my profile will be updated.
CURRENT MISSION
I've resumed my studies in English, so my current mission is to succeed while having a full-time job AND continuing music...
ABOUT ME
I work as an assitant in a French University... which is a total coincidence as I've studied classical music! I play the lute and I sing, music is my real "passion", I'm specialized in ancient music from Middle-Age to Barocco, with a particular attraction for English music (the reason why I've resume my studies in English). I like walking very much so it would be a pleasure to make you discover Toulouse (fyi I have no car). I can speak French, English, Italian, I understand a bit of Russian.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I have wonderful memories thanks to Couchsurfing! And I hope I can give you as much as I've received.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have hosted before, unfortunately, this is less easy now, but I had a lot of wonderful experiences. As a guest, I was hosted in Spain (my first travel), Italy, England... and I hope more and more in the future!
