HELLO CS COMMUNITY :)
About me... in a few words... i'm a girl, mama was from Long Beach California and dady polish french, a funky french. I'm Lily, i'm 31 years old, and I was using CS more than 10 years ago. I traveled and I hosted. Experiences that made me grow, stories to share, and many laughs.
Only, in 2011, I broke up with a crazy brasilian Alehandro, and he was so mad he changed all my codes : gmail, phone, facebook, CS, everything gone. And it was such a bad memory, it fucked up all the beautiful memories of a year in a half relationship. So... to sum it up, I can give confidence easily, but now I'm careful, I love meeting people who travel the world (my family runs a hotel in Paris, and I'm used to seeing people traveling). This "smile on the face..., I've seen the Louvre..., I've walked 5km! , I've eaten new flavours, I'm turning into a better person" These sentences are important and they come out when you travel... I try to be easy going, have a smile on my face as often as possible. Friends say I'm a sunny person. I'm a lion (astrological sign). I play the cello. Friends also prevent me from saying someone is too talkative!

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HEY... I'm ON COUCHSURFING
for 2 reasons : - I love meeting new people from far far far away or running a life far far far from mine.
-I hate spending my money in a hotel.... (overpriced) and I'd rather live with the rythm of the city.

The concept of exchanging :
I can teach you a few things on theatre techniques, on yoga, on cooking.
We can talk about everything, but I'm more listening when it gets to physics... not in philosophy!

Intereses

I HAVE INTERESTS IN ART :
I love to do , to explore, to see, to smell PAINT, THEATRE, MUSIC_ especially playing with my trio band Débussy's music or going out on sunday evening to listen to an underground jam session in Ménilmontant, in a random bar. Theatre I used to act a lot, I graduated with a thesis around the subject that Augusto Boal and Paolo Freire called "the theatre of the oppresssed". I lost the ability of acting at a moment when my father was strugling with his life; I put all that on to the cello, that can handdle it all ;)
I AM SO CURIOUS :
I love to travel, to go places I haven't been before, I love surprises, I try to wake up early to read a little bit.
I LOVE TO USE MY APP DOWNDOG (the best yoga app) or ATTEND A YOGA CLASS
I just finished the book of ALbert CAMUS, The myth of Sisyphes_ it was great advice on how to remain in this concrete reality rather than being fooled by absurdity.
I CAN COOK VEGETABLES, PASTAS, SALADS, FISHS and salty dishes and I LOVE TO DO SO and TALKING ABOUT IT.
