About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Hmmm, be happy.

ABOUT ME

All about you: Arf, "all" really?

PHILOSOPHY

Be what you are, not what you have. It sounds better in French in my opinion: Etre ce que nous sommes et non ce que nous possédons. In fact: be true to yourself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hosted a few people.
Although I'm on a break right now, I intend on hosting again as soon as I'm done with my studies. (Yup, when it comes to my studies, I cannot multitask...I tried being a host while writing my master dissertation, but I had no time to spend with my guests...)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Really good! I met a lot of very nice people and I'm looking forward to meeting new people^^

Interests

Martial arts! I've been practicing iaido for 13 years.
Travels, Voyages, Reisen!!!
Languages!! (I study linguistics after all^^)
And well...many other things I guess.

  • cats
  • arts
  • writing
  • books
  • dining
  • cooking
  • baking
  • traveling
  • martial arts
  • geography
  • history
  • languages

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies:
- One among many: today, let's say "Kenshin Live Action"

Music: One Ok Rock's acoustic songs

Books:
- N° ONE is: "The Kingkiller Chronicle" by Patrick Rothfuss!! (wondering if the 3rd book will ever come out...)
- N° TWO is: "The Stormlight Archive" by Brandon Sanderson
- Discovered Alain Damasio. If you like SF and speak/read French, read his books!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Live and learn English in New Zealand for 3 months.

Visit Japan for a month with my crazy co-traveler!^^ Loved it there, especially Takayama and the countryside!!
Visit Japan for a second time, with 14 other friends.
Visit Japan for a third time for a friend's wedding.

Teach, Learn, Share

If I've got some time, I'd gladly show you things that only people from Lausanne know. I'd also do my best to show you how the Lausannois (people from Lausanne) live, what it means to be a "Lausannois"^^. Food, travelling, cats and many other topics of conversation.

I'd be happy to learn about the country I'm visiting from any angle: history, geography, food, fauna and flora,...

What I Can Share with Hosts

Long discussions on books, languages, travelling, philo, cooking and baking.
And a very nice free style meal (=what can I do with what's in the fridge).
Suggestions?
