About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live, Learn, Laught, Love !!

ABOUT ME

Description :
Eurasian girl, 25 (don't ask again, please), speaking french and trying to speak english, I'm not sportive nor intelligent nor beautiful nor funny ... People say I am not normal, could you find out why they think so ?

I'm kidding, I might not be an unbearable person, but it's so hard to describe oneself !
Just come and find out who I am and how we can get along together ! There surely is a way =)

Important : If you apply for a couch, please specify :
1. Why you contact me (common interests so I know if you've read my profile) and

2. if you're vegetarian, strict vg or vegan ? (so I can advise good places to eat)

If you ain't do so, I'm afraid I'll have to reply something like : "sorry doesn't look like you've read my profile".
That's how it works here ;)

PHILOSOPHY

Life is short, so don't hesitate and go on for your dreams !
There are so many things to learn, see, discover and live, that life doesn't can't be spent for negative things (depression, despair, regrets...).
I know it might be hard to apply sometimes, but everyone should enjoy a maximum for the time we have left on this planet. That's how I take the "always do your best" agreement.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love meetings, as this is a way to get to know many new members, and sometimes I like bringing non-CSmembers to proove that we are not freaks ! As a matter of fact, talso like the mood and the freshness of the community, so they speak about it to others so... it grows !

I welcome those who are just in Paris for a short time and not spending a night here, then I can show them around and help them to catch the right train/bus to go ahead !

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been once an unofficial couch surfer...I was for a training in Osnabruck (Germany) when I forgot my keys inside the flat... My house mate was far away for the week-end and I thought about sleeping outdoor. I finally found a (almost drunk) guy in a bar, he hosted me for 2 days. It was ages ago but I really keep a good memory of it, even if everyone I tell about this story says "you're crazy" =)
1st CScouch in Athens, @ Yannis!
Then... quite many : @Eliana in Athens, in Stockholm, @Jesper, in London @Colin, in Brussels @Sachin, in Berlin @Jana, in Whangarei heads @Hanne, in Hamilton @Pete, Claire and Troy, in Rotorua @Jacko and Te Ao, and so many other experiences with other kiwi hosts !!
1st CShost for Finndlin from Le havre !
Then... not so many guests : Sachin and Lara from Brussel , Rebecca from New York, Claudia from London, Flora and Stephan from Austria, Theogène from Toulouse... Then I moved away from Paris and my flatmate would not happily accepts guests I'm afraid -_- !

Interests

I used to try playing guitar and roller blade but I needed practice, time and motivation, which I missed..., so the gears might be a bit dusty now...

I'm fond of Luis Royo's draws, Crazy Circuses (Ohlala), movie musicians (Ludovico Einaudi...), Fantasy books (A song of Fire and Ice, Stephen King, Ray Bradbury...), and I spend a huge amount of time in cinemas !

I am also a Nature lover, but what I like above all is... food :D So ask me about restaurants in Paris and I'll advise you for sure !

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies :
I like to go to the cinema, to watch any types of movies. I particularly like Miyasaki and animation films (Wallace & Gromit, Shrek...), Disney (not for the stories..) superheroes, fantasy, other Tarantino and Connery's of course...

Music :
I particularly like old musicians ( The Beatles, Alphaville, Abba, Toto, A-Ha, UB40, U2, Pink Floyd, Dire Strait...) and some different styles like Rammstein, Eminem, Garbage, Muse, Evanescence, Justin T., Keane, Era, celtic music, John Butler Trio, Ludovico Einaudi...
Sometimes I also listen to japanese groups like X-Japan, Luna Sea, Pierrot... To remember my youth :D

Books :
I don't read that much. I used to read many types of writers in the past, but time and opportunities are rare now, even though I purchased a Kindle to be able to carry some books during my trips. I read fantasy book also : S. KING, R. Bradbury, R.R. Martin, and Comic's (Thorgal, Sambre, japanese mangas - DBZ, City Hunter, DNA², Ranma 1/2 ). That is still occasional.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelling all around New Zealand...The most amazing being there at Christchurch during the earthquake in february 2011.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach billiard and tips about the place I'm living =).
I just would like to maintain my knowledges in English, in new cultures and other ways of life ! Because I am always curious and willing to question myself anout... everything !
Sharing good and unforgettable moments (not only a drink or a coffee, but also laught and tips..) with friends is a must for me.
