ABOUT ME

Hey y'all!
My name is Myriam, I'm a twenteen Business Law postgrad student from Tunis, currently living in The French Riviera.
I like to think of myself as an easy going and curious person who enjoys seeing people smile, a shower singer with a strong passion for traveling, scuba diving and Art in all its forms.

PHILOSOPHY

"Hate is baggage. Life's too short to be pissed off all the time. It's just not worth it." —Danny Vinyard, American History X

"I love people who make me laugh. I honestly think it's the thing I like most, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills. It's probably the most important thing in a person." —A. Hepburn

"We leave something of ourselves behind when we leave a place, we stay there, even though we go away. And there are things in us that we can find again only by going back there." —P. Mercier

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Original way to meet new people, share and discover new horizons.
Life was meant for good friends and great adventures, wasn't it?

Interests

I literally cannot spend a day without music and I try to go to as many concerts/festivals as possible! I love dancing and reading (all forms of literature, I don't discriminate haha), scuba diving, Cinema and photography, street art, food!, cute&funny animal videos, chill out/party with friends, board/video games... and traveling of course!

Well, I have a lot of favorites hihi

Books: too many to list, but my all time favorite is "Le Petit Prince" by Antoine de Saint Exupéry.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Backpacking with a friend for a month around South-East Asia was quite the adventure! I also have amazing memories of my volunteering experience in Siem Riep, Cambodia.

Back in 2009, I went on a class trip to Syria, and one day our teachers took us to the Israel-Syria border, aka Golan Heights —we saw minefields, UN soldiers, destroyed abandoned buildings (e.g. school, hospital), used ammunitions scattered on the ground... As a teenager, it really helped me put things into perspective.
