Hi! I'm Marine, 21, French student. My main passions are traveling, reading and chatting about life, nature, cats, cakes, trees - and so much more - around a glass or two of wine.

I'm usually impressed by the depths of the human brain and by Mother Nature - also I'm concerned about sustainable development.

I also love eating, cooking and sharing freshly baked muffins!

I'm studying International & Development Economics and would like to work for a cause other than profit-making!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people that have stories to tell.

Music, Movies, and Books

Lots would have to be said in this section!

Reading has always been one of my passions, and I would say that I have a few favorite books, among which: Romain Gary's "La promesse de l'aube" (Promise at dawn), Louis-Ferdinand Céline's "Voyage au bout de la nuit" (Journey to the End of the Night) and Daniel Kahneman's "Thinking, Fast and Slow".

There are a few films that I really love: Into the Wild, Little Miss Sunshine, O Menino e o Mundo and Le Sel de la Terre (The Salt of the Earth).

Regarding music, here is a small sample of what I can listen to:
