About Me
ABOUT ME
I'm just a normal girl in my twenties who doesn't know what happens next and who doesn't really care! I prefer to live in the moment than thinking too much about tomorrow. I love to travel and to meet people. I like to walk in a city that i don't know and try to understand how it works. I like to observe people in the streets or places and try to get what it means to live there.
I just finished my masters degree in Lille (north of France) in artistic management. I worked for a circus festival, for a theatre troupe in production. I had to travel for work, going to the north of France, to Paris, to Belgium.
I just got back from a trip to Sweden. I went in different places in Sweden to work as a wwoofer, in organic farms for about 2 months. It was a very great experience and i couchsurfered a few times this autumn. I discovered Scandinavia while hicking, working in the countryside, picking mushrooms in the colourful forest, but i also went to the great cities of Malmö, Göteborg, Stockholm. Aaannd i discovered sauna and i really loved it!
I grew up in a family who love the sea, boats, drinking and singing sailors songs while telling sailors stories! Sorry for that, it happens that i sing sailors songs sometimes!
Now i found a job near Rennes in a circus festival for 6 months, so i decided to live in a houseshare and to host couchsurfers. I met very nice people during my trip so i want to give back what other people gave me. (Arg... ok it sounds cheesy! But still true!)
PHILOSOPHY
Dance while you still have feet.
Smile while you still have teeth.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I join CS 4 years ago when i travelled upon Romania and Moldova to meet a friend. That were very good experiences, some beers and some cooking recipes.
Since this time i did CS a few time with friends for week-end in Belgium or in England, and recently in Sweden, Danemark, Germany. I never host for now, so i'm very curious to meet couchsurfers as a host and not as a guest.
Interests
I like artistics shows especially theater and circus, but i also like to see dance shows. Music aso.
I discovered wwooffing, so farming, growing organics vegetables, permaculture...

Music, Movies, and Books
Music: Every kind of music, it really depends of the artist. Those days i listen to Sam Amidon, Jose Gonzalez, Junip, Fleet Foxes, Devendra Banhart, Sigur Ròs, Mum, Simon and Garfunkel, Angus and Julia Stone, ....
Films: The Ken Loach movies, Jacques Demy's movies, Wong Kar Wai's movies, shorts films, etc.
It's difficult to make a list, it depens of the mood of the day.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Ireland. In the middle of nowhere, in the middle of a storm. I slept in an abandon truck in front of a beach under the rain, after had spending the evening in an irish pub in the corner of a fire, telling storie and drinking warm whiskey to warm itself from the storm.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach how to make crepes from Bretagne. I can teach stuff to do on In Design, Illustrator. I can teach you how to make a box with paper, i can teach sailors knots, sailors songs. I can tell sailors stories!
I would like to know more about growing fruits and vegetables or how to take care of plants when you live in a city. I'm happy to discover and learn everything that you know.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Tea, coffee, cooking, beds, nice walks in the city, nice bars, meeting my friends.
I have to work but i may not be super available to go out everytime, but i will manage to try to show you good areas near Rennes. I lived in Rennes for 4 years so i know the city and the area quite well. I also have a car so if i have time, why not going to the sea or to the countryside.
I would prefer to host people who are independant to manage their stay by themselve. I can't be a touristic guide everyday but i can try to be as free as i can to spend time with you. :)
