About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Make a study about the cosyness of the couches around the world... - And let anyone do the same!

ABOUT ME

I am an energetic, curious, 500 words/minute talkative woman who believes strongly in the power of humour. I am passionate by languages and always try to learn as much as I can of the local language when I travel.
Student more by interest than by necessity, I love culture in all its forms, planing but not following my plans, having endless life-philosophic discussion with friends, playing board-games(as long as they don't contain any elves or weird magic creatures - my only little geek side), having a beer in great company...

Je suis une fille énergique, curieuse et qui vous étonnera certainement par sa volubilité et le débit infernal de ses paroles. Fervente adepte de l'humour, je suis une épicurienne finie qui possède un post-doctorat en procrastination tous genres.
Je suis une étudiante, qui étudie plus par plaisir et par intérêt que par nécessité, j'ai la piqûre des voyages et malheureusement le coût de ceux-ci me fait vivre dans une précarité financière perpétuelle, je me passionne pour les langues et pour à peu près tout ce qui s'appelle culture, sans que je sois spécialiste dans aucun domaine en particulier, j'adore planifier mais je ne suis presque jamais mes plans, et tout compte fait, j'adore ne pas suivre les plans que je me suis fixés parce que ça me donne une impression de liberté et de flexibilité.

PHILOSOPHY

Forget the car or the cosy life, and buy instead a plane ticket!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Except from the hosting/hosted/meeting-people part, I do participate a lot at the CS project by introducing CS philosophy to new people and inviting them to join the community. In fact, I'm a bit of an unofficial spokeswoman who likes to spread the great concept of CS.

Interests

I like litterature, cinema, theatre, visual arts, music - in fact, any kind of arts. I like the unexpected, the random, useless and absurd things (or situations). I like watching at the thunderstorms, lying a short while in bed after the alarm has rung and enjoy the comfort of my bed, cooking and eating chocolate (miam!). I like to have fun, hang out with friends. I love people, languages, history and, of course, travelling!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiking in the dangerous muddy trails of Cinque-Terre with a friend, both uf us wearing flip-flops and a dress, while escaping from an old nasty man holding a nudists beach who wanted us to pay a cover charge for crossing a scary tunnel that happened to be his property.

Doing volunteer work in the center for disabled children in Podgorica, Montenegro, which is incredibly underfinanced and ill-equipped, and making the impossible to improve the quality of life there, although our required task was actually painting the fence outside (!).

Teach, Learn, Share

If someone can teach me how to stop procrastinating, I'll be glad. I guess it's a long-term learning, but it is sure worth effort!
