About Me

I'm a 18 years old human who lives in Earth. I think it's really difficult to present ourselves in a little square of words, because everybody can misinterpret the things about you you want to share with people.
I ask myself a lot (really a huge huge amont) of questions every single seconde. (Existential ones are my favourite by the way).
For me, everything can be interesting and need to be explore until its almost perfect knowledge (that's sometimes a problem to think that way yes yes!).
The world is so vast and I'm anxious to the idea that I can not understand, see, live everything.
Sarcasm, irony and dark humor are my means of communication with the outside world.
I am extremely sensitive and the death (fictitious or not) of an animal makes me cry an ocean.
Feminism, injustice, homophobia, racism , not open-mindedness (and for sure a lot of others subjets) make me militant and get angry sometimes when people do not want to debate them.
I wish and I fight for a fairer world.
(And I absolutely love Harry Potter!).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really want to meet new people from everywhere, with another way of life, of thinking etc. to discuss, share moments, and simply live with them to discover others points of view, cultures, habits and maybe (I wish) to improve myself. It can be so rewarding !
I support the constructivist idea of the creation of our identities and so I think that interractions with others humans are essentials.
And I'm on couchsurfing too to laugh a lot, make jokes, tell episodes of our lives and a lot of thing really fun and happy.

Music, Movies, and Books

I've actually a lot of music that I like. I only don't really enjoy listening rap. My favourites types of music are rock, rockabilly and french variety.
For the artist, I support Lady Gaga, Marina and the Diamonds, my chemical romance, fall out boy, twenty one pilots and others.
I normally do not have the patience to stay in front of a movie for two hours, so I prefer series.
But paradoxically I love going to the cinema. If I really had to give my favorite movie, I'd say it's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Rasta Rockett. I really like what Johnny Depp and Tim Burton do. My favorite actress is Helena Bonham Carter.
I enjoy reading a lot. I love Agatha Christie, Tracy Chevallier, the grimm brothers
(I love tales).
My favorite saga of all time is Harry Potter, forever and ever.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

During three weeks, I visited Scandinavia with a groupe of seven others teenagers and three camp instructors. We traveled by train from Geneva to the northern tip of Norway, where the sun never sets, six months in the year. We each took a big backpack with our things and we shared to carry kitchen utensils, gas cylinders, food, tents. We needed to find water on our own. We washed everything, so do we, in the rivers. The water was so cold that the soap (biodegradable!) did not leave. We learned to live without phones, slowly, in community and with ourselves. That was really rewarding. I miss that way of life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I don't really understand what we should write in here but I love the principe of teaching, learing and sharing.
For me it's a good way to involve and raise people to topics they do not know or to which they would not have gone. The more people are aware and informed, the better society can evolve.

What I Can Share with Hosts

It's complicated here not to pass for an pretentious, showy or snooty person.
I've already talk a litte bit about that upper, but sharing is the key.
I think (and I hope haha) that I can be funny sometimes, especially thanks to the irony.
I'm used to being pessimistic but I laugh a lot about that, so it gives a little dramatic side.
Except this side of me, I hope that I have others things (like experiences etc.) to share with my nice hosts.
As I said before, I'm really concerned about gender questions, homophobia, lgbtqi+, racism, injustice, feminism and I would really enjoy talk about this with others people.
(I just place here that my favourite cocktail is the mojito but I'm unter 21 so I'm already crying not be allowed to have ones in the US).
