ABOUT ME

I've grown up in Paris, exploring all its cultural events and night life !

I've done cultural studies, mostly about performing arts. I've worked in different cultural centres : La Ferme du Buisson, in the Parisian suburb, Theatre National Populaire in the suburb of Lyon, and now Theatre de Poche, in the countryside around Rennes ! I'm welcoming all kind of publics (children, adults, people learning French...) and try to make them at ease with our cultural propositions. I'm also community manager and managing press and media relations. I'm fond of this job :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Music, Movies, and Books

Pink Floyd, The Doors, Jefferson Airplane, Neil Young were my first favourite bands, by now I'm listening to living bands too ! Patti Smith but also electonic music as Air, General Elektriks, and all different other kinds : CocoRosie, Devendra Banhart, Bachar Mar-Khalifé...
Into the Wild is one of my favorite movies but there is also Pulp Fiction, Hayao Miyazaki's, so many different styles! Many French movies as well, probably not so well known on the international stage...
Classical French litterature: Margueritte Duras / contemporary drama : Wajdi Mouawad. Many comics : Manu Larcenet, Bastien Vivès...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Boom Festival ! you can't imagine what is it before you see it...
Experiencing everyday life in different cities : Paris, Nijmegen (Netherlands), Lyon, Rennes... It's always quite an extraordinary adventure to settle down for one year in an unknown city, with its unknown inhabitants ! A challenge I quite enjoy :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I love cooking and sharing the different cultural habits with others.
I can speak hours about the contemporary art scene. Though, if you're not into that, I also enjoy sharing a walk in the city, in the countryside, mountain...
