ABOUT ME

June 2016: Hi! I'm 25 and I just came back home after 9 (cold) months in Canada (Brandon, Manitoba) where I was teaching French at Brandon University. I am originally from Rennes (Brittany), a beautiful city of western France.

Interests

I love traveling in general. I've been on the road over the past few years (I've lived in the US, Brazil and Canada) but now I think I'm gonna settle down in France for a while. I'm still gonna travel and visit some places I haven't seen yet, but mostly as a tourist now.

I enjoy being with my friends, chatting while having coffee / tea / beer (I'm always down for a good cold beer!). I'm a friendly person who enjoys laughing and discovering new places and new cultures. I still have a lot to discover and hope to do it as much as I can.

I'm a vegetarian because I care about the animals too much to eat them :) but I still love eating!

As I said above, I was living in the US (in New Hampshire) for one year for my study-abroad experience four years ago and in Canada this year. I now consider the North American continent as my second home, I just feel like home everytime I go there.

Moreover, I love music. Most of the time and as soon as I'm by myself, I'm with my headphones / speakers on listening to whatever I feel like listening to. I think there's not a single day that goes by that I don't listen to music.

Languages is also one of my big things. I could say that's the only thing I'm really good at in my life (haha), even though I'm only fluent in English (and French obviously). I used to study Spanish in school, I can still understand pretty well but have some difficulties speaking it, especially since I learned Portuguese that completely took over my Spanish. And I used to study German for a few years at the university but I forgot a loooot of it. Gonna be happy to try to practice it during my trip to Germany this summer :)

I also love sport, especially volley-ball. I don't practice sport anymore (I became lazy, ugh) but I have played volley-ball for 5 years and I used to love it! I still enjoy watching sports on TV (volley-ball, basket-ball, tennis, swimming... anything but football/soccer actually).

I mainly like all kinds of black American music (from the 50's to now), English / Irish music (folk, indie, alternative, etc) and pop music. I also love concerts / festivals: they're so much fun.

READINGS: I love reading articles / books about feminism and women's rights, that's one topic I'm really passionate about, mostly because there's still a lot of work ahead of us!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Before being in Canada, I was in Brazil where I taught French for 5 months. I didn't know Portuguese at all and having to learn it in 5 months was a big challenge. Now, I can understand a lot and have a normal conversation (don't ask me to talk about politics or literature in Portuguese! :)) Who would have thought I could make it? Everything's possible!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach French and I'd love to!
I would also be happy to share my experience about traveling or even about music.
