Hey ! I'm a French girl who grew up in Lisbon, and I came back to France after finishing highschool. I am studying in an engineer school close to Paris.
Well, I still haven't gone to one single lesson in that school since the cursus begins with a 6-months internship, which I am doing in Ploërmel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because it's (I think) the best way ever to travel ! I never surfed, but I dream to : it seems to me like a magic way to meet new people, to discover really the country in which we are traveling.

Interests

I love learning foreign languages. I was lucky to learn portuguese when I was a kid, and it helped me to learn other languages ; it is exciting to understand little by little the structure, the "spirit" of a language, to learn the language that governs some people's thoughts.

As for theatre, it is an old passion, that continued through middle and high school.

• drawing
• music
• languages
• science
• travel
• theatre
• aikido

Music, Movies, and Books

Avatar the last airbender is the best cartoon that was ever made !! For all ages ;) I also read quite a lot of manga (the length of anime scared me away, I prefer reading)

As for books, there are too much to tell all of them, but here are some : Terre des hommes by St Exupéry, Les Mille et une nuits, poems from Fernando Pessoa, any book from Amin Maalouf or Albert Camus, Harry Potter, A Study in Scarlet and other Sherlock Holmes, La sombra del Viento by Carlos Ruíz Zafón, …

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seing an gigantic arch beaten by the wind and the waves in an apocalyptic scene in Kangaroo Island.
I went twice to a two-days aikido camp with training under the stars and underwater.
Also just appreciating life, any moment, any person I have the oleasure to meet.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I never surfed, I only hosted when I was living with my mother but I'm sure there is plenty of things I can share, from food (I'd be glad to cook some a-bit-French-but-not-totally stuff) to ideas ;)

Countries I’ve Lived In

France, Portugal, Singapore
