About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I rather die eaten by an aligator than from swine flu.

ABOUT ME
I love trees and birds and New-York city and swimming. And camping and hiking and baking. And rock climbing and gardenning and kayaking. And road trips.
I'm in journalism school, I write about stuff... Which reminds me of that Jon Lajoie song that says: «You talk to me about stuff... why? I rather see your titties»
I think life is fun, and I LOVE fun. I think I am a very positive person, and pretty fearless too, even if I'm afraid of bees.
I studied cinema in college, and so I love what other people call «Boring Movies».

I also want to conquer the world, on the side.

Things you should know:
-I am not looking for romance
-My favorite color is yellow

PHILOSOPHY

«Walls are the foundations of all humans» (Daniel Quinn)
"Sanity is not statistical" (George Orwell)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I talk about CS a lot. A. LOT.

Whenever I'll have a home, I'll have a couch available. Or a hammac.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met incredible people in incredible places!

Interests

Haunted houses and villages, cooking from scratch, coffee, history, sociology, mandarin, etymology, and PEOPLE. And I love learning, it's my favorite thing.

Current project: Learn to snowboard and become Shaun White

Music, Movies, and Books

I like travel movies, horror movies, artsy independent movies, documentaries, and funny movies, and I can enjoy other types of movies as well. I don't like "We bought a zoo".

Books that changed my life---Sometimes it's not the book more than the moment it is read:
I like Dystopian novels from Margaret Artwood and Orwell and Huxley. I like fiction that is based on facts. I remember feeling transformed when I read The Alchemist (Cohelo), Ishmael (Quinn) and Awareness (de Mello). I am currently reading a lot about mental illness. And I love Patrick Sénécal and Houellebecq.

I enjoy music as long as it is not noise but music. I tend to moreon the mellow side, I like cooking with Jazz and waking up with cute French café songs.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saw two Jellyfishes, the size of my forearm, having sex. It was violent.
