About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I don't have any rational current mission, I only have dreams.

ABOUT ME

I love coffee only when there's more milk than coffee in it. With cinnamon.

I don't understand people who spend money buying a dishwasher. For me doing dishes with hands is the most relaxing activity on earth.

PHILOSOPHY

"Live dangerously" (from this lovely Friedrich)

And above all, try to give love as much as possible, not only to receive love in return, but rather because it's the better way to give a meaning to life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been traveling to Denmark, and Lappland thanks to nice couchsurfers who hosted me.
And recently for the first time, I've just hosted a sweet german girl.

All the best for now, let's do it again, and again.

Interests

I love traveling, of course, but that's no surprise on CS website.

I'm interested in all activities that includes friends, laughs and smiles. Oh I know it sounds a bit silly, but maybe I'm a silly girl.

I like to bike. Maybe high.
More generally, I think that most interesting places to visit are the non-visitable places: roofs, undergrounds, intimate gardens, abandoned factories. Of course I also enjoy museums, but most of the time it's better to discover a new city guided by a native-person, that knows all tiny details about it.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm fond of french cinema
("Nouvelle Vague"), including movies of Truffaut, Godard, Jacques Demy - Les demoiselles de Rochefort-, Rohmer, Resnais -on connait la chanson- but also more recent productions : Kubrick and so on...

I'm un love with german literature (among others, of course):
Herman Hesse (my favorite book could be "Demian"), Thomas Mann, Stefan Zweig, Robert Musil, Rainer Maria Rilke.
But also: Jean Cocteau, Henri de Montherlant, JK Huysmans, Jean Anouilh, Michel Tournier, Antonin Artaud.

My musical preferences are too various and too wide to sum up.

One exemple : One of the band I have loved from the first time and I'm still not tired of is "Caravan Palace". Electro swing drives me crazy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saw a dog sitting on a bench at östermalmstorg, in Stockholm.

I met a great composer in Paris. He used to sit down everyday in Jardin du Luxembourg, watching at trees and bushes. He was able to design opera stages from the natural setting formed by vegetation. Maybe was he a great pathological liar, but I prefer to think that he was a great composer.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm trying to experiment the "Law of Attraction" every day. If you're interested in, just ask.

I also have some acknowledgments about so-repertoried psychiatric diseases, that could be, in a way, other forms of intelligence. I don't claim having found the truth, and I love to question and discuss it.

I would like to discover as much as possible about religions and believes; consequently I enjoy stories about miracles or extraordinary phenomenons.
