ABOUT ME

I'm a teaching assistant in political science at the Openuniversity of Switzerland.
I'm also a freelance graphic designer and illustrator.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel, but not travelling istelf. I think travelling is not just about spending a few days in a hotel, going to the musuem and taking a million of picture to be posted on fb. Most of the time, I visit friends and they show me the city like they see it and feel it themselves, and I get to meet other people and we just do what everyone does. When I'm not visiting someone, I want to meet people I could visit again or that could visit me! I'd like to bond with the city I'm in and with people, and not just pass by, but have long and passionate talks, laugh, exchange our views, or passion, or interests, and have nice memories that will shape the way I feel about the city.

Interests

In my free time, I enjoy painting or sketching people on the street, sitting in a coffee. When I can, I go hiking. I grew up in the mountains, so it's something that is part of my life and that I enjoy. It relaxes me and I love spending a whole day outside, sometimes suffering too - but only to enjoy the beautiful view and have a great picnic :-) I love swimming also, at any temperature - or almost! Whenever I see a lake or a river, I want to dive in it! Well, sunny weather helps. I go often to the swimming pool. I'm also starting inline skating and in the winter, I go snow skating. But I have also my lazy mood, where I just want to watch a good TV serie, or go to the bar with friends, to concerts, to movie theatre. I'm flexible and easy to live with.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favourite books is from Vladimir Nabokov, Ada ou l'ardeur.
I also enjoyed a lot Peste from Chuck Palanhiuk. I read a lot of comic books (or more accurately graphic novels).

I like to listen to psychadelic rock, post-rock and post-punk. But I'm open to diverse genre, especially if it's a bit experimental.

I quite enjoy strange or absurd films like Tarkovski movies. I also like to watch classics like Apocalypse now and I like french Nouvelle Vague movies. I love going to the movie theatre.
