About Me

Hello Bonjour Hola

I'm a young happy person, optimist-probaly too much, making the most of what life has to offer, and loving it. I'm English but have lived all my life in France, so both..or neither.

I like random facts about random things but I can never remember any. Same with jokes really.

I'm mostly an easy person to get along with, I don't complain much (except that I'm vegetarian, so it could be a bit more difficult food wise, but could be much more interesting too).

I'm currently Living in st antonin with my nearly two year old daughter Lucia. We have a spare room that were happy to share.

For me, life is an amazing thing, like a challenge that you have to get the best out of, or a game that you have to learn the rules to. Every experience is about learning something new, getting something out of it. I believe in taking risks, to put yourself out there and see how it goes. I believe that everybody and everything is somehow connected, maybe on another level, and that just makes life even more exciting!!

'Et tu sais, qu'en dépit des souffrances, des déceptions et des drames qu'elle charrie, tu sais maintenant de toutes les fibres de ton corps combien passionante est la vie" C. Juliet

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I couchsurfed in Australia and it saved my life! Since then, I have surfed a fair bit, in Europe and America. Living too years in Toulouse has given me the opportunity to host too, which I love doing. I join in events wherever I am too.

Interests

I love hearing about new things, listening to stories, sharing experiences, reading amazing books that keep you awake all night, cheese -especially goats cheese-, also cheese with nice wine, going out with friends and making more friends, watching good films as well as watching bad films, plucking the fluff out of my belly button, acting-wish I could do more of it, cooking then eating, playing scrabble or chess as I get really into it but can be competitive, music 'cause it's the soul of life, eating chocolate, learning, teaching, smiling, laughing, drinking tea and beer and wine, discovering, playing, listening, contemplating the stars, laughing yoga, poking monkeys, swimming, watching aeroplanes take off and land, hot springs that smell like eggs, walking through stunning scenes ...

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: The butterfly effect, Inception, An education, The bucket list, Dead cheese society, My name is Khan, The green line, Eternal Sunshine of the spotless cheese, American cheese x, Jeux d'enfants, The pianist, American beauty, Des fromages et des dieux, The boat that rocked, Death at a funeral, Johnny English ...

Books: On the road, Harry potter, Shutter island, The curious incident of the dog in the night-time, The alchemist, Eragon, Lambeaux, L'écume des jours, The witch from Portobello, Life of Pi, Fin de Partie, ..

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you french or english or both. I'm always willing to learn, I would love to speak and learn more spanish. I would like to learn about Your culture, Your traditions, Your history, Your life, what you eat for breakfast, what your favorite fruit is! I can also teach a few magic tricks or card games and share some historical knowledge. I enjoy cooking and especially eating. I can challenge you to scrabble. Also, anyone know how to solve the rubix cube?
