Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have hosted a few times, met nice people and visited hosts through couchsurfing. Love the idea of helping out fellow travelers.

Interests

I am doing a Master's degree in translation. My research subject combines history of the beginning of the XXth century, unionism, journalism in the bilingual discourse on a "soon-to-legally-become" bilingual territory. I'd be happy to tell you everything about it. I have other interests, of course.

• cooking
• vegetarian
• vegan
• gardening
• history
• languages
• sociology
• linguistics
• translation

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all sorts of music, although I am not a big fan of Country/Western music nor of Transe/Techno music

Movies, the list is very long, but this is a start
The Waking Life and all of Richard Linklater's work
The Darjeeling Limited ans most of Wes Anderson's movies
the photograpy in the movies of the Coen brothers
Three Colours, Blue, White and Red
Z
F is for Fake
I really enjoyed the sense of humor in Billy Elliot and the Big Monty, per example. And of course all of the work of Ken Loach

Books,
La vie devant soi - Romain Gary as Émile Ajar
Sébastien Japrisot - the only "police" book I enjoy
Alessandro Baricco - love the music in his words
Russian writters in general
And many more to come!
