About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To meet a lot of different people and to go to a lot of different places!

ABOUT ME

What would my friends say about me...I hope they would say that I'm very open minded and funny! I can be a bit shy at first but I easily relax with nice people and I'm interested in everything people can teach me. You will probably hear me laugh more than anything cause I enjoy life a lot as well ! One sure thing is I never feel more at home than when I'm NOT home :D. I love discovering new places. I guess I overthink sometimes but nothing makes me more happy than sharing new experience with people, I really think the best things in life are the ones you share.

PHILOSOPHY

"Je ne sais qu'une chose, c'est que je ne sais rien."
"I know one thing: that I know nothing"
Socrate

"Marlin: I promised I'd never let anything happen to him.
Dory: Hmm. That's a funny thing to promise.
Marlin: What?
Dory: Well, you can't never let anything happen to him. Then nothing would ever happen to him. Not much fun for little Harpo."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Sometimes I can host, sometimes I can't. When I can I'll always update my status to "free" but if you send me a request, please make it personal. I live in a city everyone wants to visit and if you come I like to think that it's also for sharing something with me.
And If I can't host I'll still be happy to show you around, to share a drink, and a nice chat !

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Sometime you meet weird situations :D But I've mostly met great people, either at my place or theirs and I'm really happy about it !

Interests

Very fond of movies and books, I spend a lot of my time in cinemas and am always reading one or three books at the same time. (And never fully remember any of them!)
I also love to walk through the city, I've been a Parisian my whole life but I learn new things about Paris everyday. Despite that I'm kind of a country girl with a very simple soul, I really love nature even though I enjoy the city life for all it has to offer! I'm also a huge fan of music and I'd be delighted to discuss it with you as well as to learn anything new. :)

And when I travel I LOVE eating local cuisine and trying new food, that's like 50% of my trip :D When I leave my suitcase is always filled with weird candies and edibles I can't find back home.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: From Stravinsky to Alt-J.. I listen to a lot of different kind of music, except maybe rock metal and bullshit mainstream pop stuff...( even though it doesn't hurt to dance like crazy on it sometimes :D )
Books: Dostoïevski is my bedside author. I'm a fan of Russian literature and classic authors mostly. ThoughI'm tyring to get more into contemporary literature lately :)
Movies: Take Shelter, Oh Boy, Trainspotting, The Princess Bride, any Wes Anderson, Mulan, Fatih Akin, Claude Sautet... Soooo many !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A summer at l'Île de la Réunion during a boat ride, a baby whale swimming under the boat, coming back-and-forth playing and looking at us, so close that we could have touched it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have no idea what I could teach anyone besides trying to take life as it comes and to enjoy every situation... But I'm willing to learn everything I can from others !
