About Me

CURRENT MISSION

get my degree and escape the univerity ; )

ABOUT ME

hi there ! I like first meeting people and knowing them by long talks around good meals, I'd describe myself as curious, open-minded anda bit shy when it's about big groups of people.

PHILOSOPHY

Looking, listening and apprehending things and people with great attention and care.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Well I'm not yet a well-trained CS user but I'm used to travel and meet people in the course, since I'm curious, open-minded, and like listening and tellng stories around a glass !

Interests

I'm first into visual arts (modern and contemporary, calligraphy, graphic design, bookmaking, painting etc.) and music (sacred music, ambient, IDM, pop, soundtracks...) but I also travel (so far I've been Europe and Middle East.) I cook when I have time as well ! and enjoy wine.
