Born in Paris and still living here, the Tanya specimen spent an amazing Erasmus year in Turin, Italy, and just comes back from a month at the University of Toronto, Canada. This friendly, beer-lover creature wants to go through the world - when she'll be rich someday - and, mostly during last year, her taste for travelling, exchanging and meeting kind people just kept on deepening. She loves good food which is one of her "raisons d'être" as they say in her beautiful Frenchie country, and she is always grateful and never forgets all those friends and mates who fed her when her stomach let a loud rumble during the 10.30 AM lesson or like all the rest of the day at anytime. When her Master's thesis work allows her for some spare time, she leaves her Pokeball and enjoys freedom by talking with her all-around-the-globe friends and, of course, she is a reliable drinking-buddy in the week-end. She also practices karate and aikido, so don't mess with her. She looks like a sensitive person when she's playing the piano. Would it be weird to say that she's keen on linguistics and phonetics? Moreover, she knows Paris very well, as well as Turin now and pretty well Toronto, and it will always be a pleasure for her to give you some tips and make you discover her Parisian jungle whenever you come over there.

Music, Movies, and Books

Open to all with a preference for all darkish sounds. Yup, I'm a metal/rock/alternative/hard one who plays classical Debussy, Chopin and Co piano songs, all of that while loving Davis' jazz and Joplin's voice.
I read a lot but I forget the book titles.
I watch movies but I forget the titles.
I just remember that I like bloody stuff and comic ones. I'm a paradox but I'm kind and unharmful, I swear.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Taking part in a volunteer project in San Juan de Lurigancho, Peru, based on the construction of a school classroom. And an Erasmus year. And adopting pets. And cooking pasta for my mama.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can exchange in different languages and teach you how to make a typical Tiramisù. And how to cook pasta of course.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A "how to take care of your bunny pets" tutorial and a "how to cross roads in Paris without getting ran over" one. Unfortunately cannot share my home "palace" - nor my bed cause I only have one anyway - as I already live with a flatmate here. Besides, I like laughing, joking, talking about everything in life around a beer or whatever you want - or vodka, whiskey, negroni, asti - , and I can take you anywhere you want in my city. We can also meet with my friends here if you want to, they'll always be happy to meet you.
