About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To get my nursing diploma (yeah, boring, but attainable!)

ABOUT ME

Nursing student (not for long, I hope).
Multilingual and multicultural : we moved A LOT when I was growing up, so I changed some fifteen odd schools in all and got used to being the "new kid". Long to travel but starving student status (ye gods, thats a lot of s's) kind of prevents that!

PHILOSOPHY

On peut rire de tout, mais pas avec tout le monde. (You can laugh at everything, but not with everyone/anyone)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have just discovered this couch surfing site. I have on the other hand hosted many a couch surf in my life : usually friends of friends of friends, but one occasion was pretty unusual and a nice experience : travelling to Moscow from Toulouse on a bus (72 hours of bus, yay) I met a young french couple who intended to sight-see in Moscow and then go to the Baikal lake. We took them in for a week and helped them get their tickets for the Oural... They were invited to come back on the return trip but we never heard of them! Hope they didn't get lost.

Interests

Odd interestes (or not that odd) : knitting/sewing/DIYing, cooking, learning to dance tango, reading books in one go (even if it means stopping sleep altogether), watching people play computer games/consoles... Uh. Drinking tomato juice, there.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Going to a biological research station near the Polar Circle, in the North of Russia. +10 degrees celcius in august. The trees becomes gnomes and you - a giant. The sea seems huge and you feel very small when diving off a cliff. You can fish and collect berries to get your own food. There isn't a real night-time ! I loved that place.
