Hi guys !

I'm 26 years old, French, currently doing a PhD in Australia, traveling and discovering the world, becoming an adult in the process.. :)

What else can I say to describe myself..
I'm a learner. I think a lot. but I can be quite lazy sometimes. I love animals. I hate Monopoly. I guess I'm a kind of rational treehugger in some ways.. I love being alone in my head but I am getting my energy from people and I'm very sociable. I love people who ask me embarrassing questions and make me lough. I don't like hypocrisy though I would never generate a conflict unless really necessary. I don't take life too seriously I guess..
I'm starting to realize that happiness is just a mind-set. There is good to take out of every situation and I can be happy whatever happens. Working on it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think it is an awesome way to meet interesting people from various countries and backgrounds, who are traveling or have been traveling and usually have amazing stories to tell you and things to teach.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies:
- Django Unchained, never enjoyed watching asses being kicked so much!
- Hayao Miyazaki, Charlie Chaplin and Michel Gondry are geniuses.

Music: I seem to be particularly sensitive to electric guitar solos, heavy drums and powerful voices;))... But I'm open to all sorts of music! My top ten of the moment: Dream Theater, Blind Guardian, Pain of Salvation, System of a Down, Cat Stevens, Bjork, Muse, Damien Rice, Megadeth, Travis

Books:
- Philosophy: the philosopher and the wolf (best book ever read, recommend it to everyone), the limits to growth (about the mistakes of capitalism and the impossibility of endless growth in a finite world),
- Novels: the unbearable lightness of being, Jane Eyre (the most beautiful love story ever)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A meditation course in India: 10 days of not talking and being isolated from the outside world. Then volunteering and travelling around south India for 3 months.

My two-year studies in Norway, joining a small community of researchers who want to make the world a better place.

A visit to a mine site in the Australian desert, one week in the middle of nowhere, incredibly beautiful landscapes contrasting with the creepy huge waste dumps

Teach, Learn, Share

I can cook you a good vegetarian dinner
