About Me

I'm a little of everything - French, American, Finnish, Swedish, Italian, Irish, even (sortof) Algerian!
I love traveling (like all of us -right?), i've finished my third year of architecture in Glasgow, Scotland and I'm now in a work placement year out before I go into the final year of my undergrad.
I'm all for meeting new fantasticaly random people. As a friend wrote to help me out when i wondered what to put in this dreadful category, i am a "crazy straberry with a demented laughter guaranteed to make you laugh as well" or "easy going and fun loving, but responsible." and "friendly and lively, good at science but passionate about literature and art."
Is that weird to quote someone else..? She certainly is a generous soul. I'd have stopped at "demented laughter"
Also:I love good food.
CS who are willing to cook make my day!
I'll be more than happy to learn a new dish from where ever you're from or from where ever you picked it up. Ah and if you can't cook I'm afraid I'll just be leaving you to starve. JOKES. I cook as well. Yeay

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy yourself while trying not to ruin our dear planet any more than we already have!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

This is really a bouche à oreille project - try to spread the word, encourage people with a similar spirit to join us.Host a few desperate emergency surfers here and there.Sharing the love!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Some strange but always interesting people! I simply love this way of interacting, hope I'll still be doing this when I'm old and wrinkly. (I plan on living fast and living old)

Interests

art, literature, architecture, photography, traveling, hiking, pubbing, dancing. Actually i'd be interested in anything i don't know. you can probably fascinate me with a discourse of the mating system of a moth. (i won't try to impose the subject onto you though)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Too many things!
But if i had to pick one..
I had the great chance of taking a wood heated Sauna in Finland and i've never felt so connected to nature and mankind since.
Generations of women bathing in the rapids, surrounded by forest was one of the most beautiful events of my life.
