About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live. Which is the only real objective you can have when you're on earth! And getting to know how to make myself and the rest of the world happier. I think the greatest achievement is to know yourself better and share love with the world. Far better than success or wealth!

ABOUT ME

I'm full or energy and love doing a lot of things all the time. I just finished my academic studies (in geography, sociology and English literature) and now study jazz singing. I've been involved in quite a lot of different projects, from jazz to funk and pop to soul music. I love meeting new people and travelling, I enjoy everything related to culture and I'm a very smiling and positive human being!

Among the things I'm passionate about, there is music, sustainable development, musical improvisation, politics, cooking, urbanism / city planning, vocal jazz, inequalities, baking, cinema, psychology, do-it-yourself, vegetarian and bio food, reading...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

For now, I've not been couchsurfing much, mostly because I was not really able to welcome people at my place. But I've met plenty of amazing people thanks to this website, mostly in Bristol where I lived for a year and where the community was very active. So if you want to share a veg box, watch a film, bicycle, go to the market, see a concert, or discover a part of my city you'd never have imagined... Write me a message! These are a few of the things I managed to live in Bristol thanks to the Couchsurfing community.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music, cinema and books far too much to give you my favourite ones here. I love jazz, and enjoy for instance Esperanza Spalding, Cassandra Wilson, Gretchen Parlato, Ella Fitzgerald, Abbey Lincoln, Amy Winehouse or Erykah Badu...

A lot of my favourite movies are on that list: http://www.imdb.com/user/ur60824422/ratings. For instance Amelie, La vie d'Adèle, La vita è bella, Gainsbourg (Vie héroïque), Les triplettes de Belleville, Whiplash, Inception, Amy, Pride, Short Term 12...

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd be happy to share a bit of my knowledge about music and languages with other people! I can maybe teach you a bit about how to sing, or improvise, or give you French or English lessons.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I do not come from Lucerne, but I know some cool places, especially if you like music. And since there are many things I still want to discover around the city, I might also be up to doing some hiking in the region or joining any cool activity.
