About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Get to see the world as much as I can

ABOUT ME

I'm a 23 years old French young woman studying International/European Studies and Arts Management. I'm currently living in Melbourne in order to complete my Master Degree. I love travelling and I've been moving a lot these last few years. I studied in Sweden, worked in the Netherlands and Iceland, and now I've set my new home up in Australia again. No need to say that they have been the best experiences of my life! I really thought I should enjoy my student life as much as I can before having to settle down and start working.

I like my days to be full and busy. As I've been raised in a very small town, I enjoy doing outdoors activities and especially when I go hiking in the mountains. One of my biggest dream would be to land off in Greenland!

I consider myself as a cheerful person! I try to enjoy every little things that life brings me. I'm always up for meeting new people, having a spontenous trip in the weekend or just having a nice talk.

PHILOSOPHY

The only source of knowledge is experience.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Best way to get an original, different, and interesting insight of the country.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I already couchsurfed a few times with friends across Europe, in northern Norway, Estonia, Lithuania or even Berlin. More recently I also couchsurfed in Singapour. It always ended up being very memorable experiences.

Interests

Music, sports, travels. I'm reading a lot, as I've studied literature for the past three years. I'm also very keen on learning language, which makes my travels even more interesting, as I can put into practice my knowledge of a language. I like photography as well, althought I'm still learning how to use both my film and digital camera. I'm also a musician since I'm very little, playing the cello, so I just love music in general, especially when it comes to sharing my favourites bands and hear someone else preferences.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to various bands or dj's such as electronic, pop, folk, rock, jazz, indie. It often depends on my mood. I'm attending a lot of concerts/festivals, and volunteering from time to time. As I said, I'm reading a lot. It can be classical literature just as much as fiction, thriller books and so on. I just finished the three Milleniums from Stieg Larsson, went to Paolo Ruiz (birthday gift) and I'm planning to start Ulysse from James Joyce, which I brought back from my little trip in Dublin!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Grand Canion was the most impressive thing I've ever seen! (I had goose-bumps for the first few seconds because it was so spetacular). But going in swedish Lapland to do a dogsleding tour or to Iceland to a natural warm water spot were definitely memorable experiences. These were probably to this day the most beautiful trips I've ever done. The nature is so amazing and the landscapes are breathtaking.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If I come I'd be more than happy to cook some French receipes, although it's probably never going to taste as good as my Mum's cooking ... Still have a lot to learn ;)
