Hi!

My name is Marielle. I just finished my studies and I love to travel. I've decided to go on my dream and have a long term travel experience while it's the right moment.

I hope to meet some good people!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet people and live new experiences. I believe locals have the best travel tips concerning their own city and can bring you a lot. It is always fun to have some company while going to places!

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a lot into an indie music phase right now. So I listen a lot to Foster the People, Portugal. the Man, Angus and Julia Stone, Alt-J, Chet Faker... I am very open to music and I like about anything, once it's well done. Make me discover something new!

I am a fan of Harry Potter and LOTR movies and books. I grew up with them and can't let them go! Otherwise, I don't watch a lot of movies. I loved Benjamin Button, La vida e bella, Snatch!, Babel, Gran Torino... Can't find others but there are a lot. I prefer dramatic and suspense over comedy usually.

I read a lot. I enjoyed so much Into The Wild (John Krakauer). I think it's my favourite book. I read some good Jack Kerouac too, Dracula, The Name of the Rose (Umberto Eco) it was hard to read but a real achievement. I read a lot and about everything that seems interesting!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hard to say, really. I just ended my scholarship so I might say it's amazing hahaha! No really, for a girl that was thinking I could never go through my Master's degree, I ended up with a patent on my research and being on the honour roll of the University I went to. That's pretty amazing for me and I am proud of it. :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love so much to learn more about wine! Please, if you know a vineyard that needs a worker, I am there and eager to try!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Well, wanna learn some French or knit?

Okay, no kidding, I want to share good experiences, make new friends and have fun. If anyone wants me to share something : ask, I may be able to share it with you :)
