ABOUT ME

HELLO, I am Anna: traveller, bibliophile, perennial student (now teacher? how did that happen?), and I may have been called a groupie more than once. My rather tomboyish childhood has not escaped me either.

Melburnian at heart who has well and truly adopted the city of Lyon as home.

PHILOSOPHY

Age is but a number.

One teabag goes a long way (3 cups minimum).

No need to make a mountain out of a molehill.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

A peculiar favourite from France

Exercices de Style - Raymond Queneau

Another Anna recently told me about this Hungarian (?) novel about a man who sells objects in exchange for time that sounded really interesting but I can't tell you more just yet as Google is eluding me.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Lots of people do it, but I'm proud to say I recently hitchhiked home from Primavera Sound festival in Barcelona to Lyon.

5 cars, 10 hours, great people and conversations. A solid reminder of the generosity of strangers.
