CURRENT MISSION

Making a documentary about alternative ways of living. Keep giving attention to people and the surrounding environnement.

ABOUT ME

I'm a French student in Film and English at Reed College in Portland. I take classes of random stuff from music theory, anthropology, art. My ideal career plan (if I have to set one): making films. From crazy fictions to documentaries that would bring changes, I wish to play with moving pictures. I still have a lot to learn from other people and will always do. And if I can bring the smallest thing to their lives it worths to meet.

PHILOSOPHY

Trying to catch the time. Sharing with people, bringing my thoughts to them while respecting them and learning from them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can't host this year because I'm living in a small student bedroom. But back in France, I would be happy to host you!
I'm looking for couches in the US while I'm exploring the country and its people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed on 4 couches so far. It was AMAZING! I learned so much and tried let a bit of my own in my hosts' home. More than just a couch I'm looking for sharing experiences and even friendships.
Thank you for having put into place such a website.

Interests

I dance, a lot (contemporary, modern jazz, but without too clear boundaries). I try to read any kind of stuff. I like to walk without an aim. For me, that's the best way to discover a place. I struggle to create something (may be art), if possible that will help some people. I like to listen to the others' stories. They are ALL interesting.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I guess I'm not that spectacular. But wandering alone in the streets without an aim I often meet any kind of people, different types of light, weird objects.
Dancing alone on a stage is pretty frightening for me but I love expressing myself through LARGE dancing movements.
Also, coming to study in the US was kind of a big thing for me. But incredible people are everywhere, no boundaries for that.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach French slang! I would like to learn drums.
