CURRENT MISSION

Seriously start on developing my writings (and stop talking about it!)

ABOUT ME

I spent my student life in Toulouse, lived one year in Chile and six months in Brazil. Since september 2011, I decided to settle down in Grenoble, starting a new job in an association promoting contemporary dance.
I always had flatmates, until now... I guess I thought something like "trying to live on my own"... but, I'm still as found as ever of having people staying at my place!

PHILOSOPHY

"If you don't succeed at once, try, try again" (or was this Churchill's?)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first experience was in Bariloche (Argentina) : we were hosted by a great woman with whom we discussed Argentinan politics, culture and she asked us for French slang vocabulary she never would have learned in books! Ever since, I really enjoy sharing time with couchsurfers, they're definitely a good change from people you'll meet at work or anywhere else. Sharing with people who have not the same occupation as you is essential to me and I like both hosting/surfing and partying with CSers.

Interests

I love dance, arts, history, movies, literature, talking of what I'd like to change, listening to your personal life... and many other things

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I enjoy to have a language partner (but I'm terrible at explaining grammar), I'm not too bad at cooking and at fixing things...
Learn: I would love to learn how to draw (and play piano, but one thing at a time ok?)
Share: anything beginning with an afternoon watching a good movie, a week-end walking the Alps, and talking about what you're living for
