Hi there! I'm Sarah and I'm a 19-year-old French girl in exchange for one year in San Francisco. I can't put you up at my place for now but I'd love to meet new people so feel free to message me :) I am a really optimistic and joyful person, even when I talk about international politics.

Here is my favorite quote, by Arundhati Roy: "Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm energetic and eager to see the world, to open my eyes and to discover new cultures. I would like to discover a new way of traveling and meet new people.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music : I listen to a wide variety of different music, from 20th century rock music to the recent French slam scene. My favorite singer is undoubtedly Nina Simone and I listen more generally to a lot of 60's-70's soul music.
Recently I've also been listening to some electro world music.

Movies : I like movies where the photography is neat, like Xavier Dolan's or Wes Anderson's. Also, I watch a lot of TVshows.

Books : One of my favorite books ever is "La vie devant soi", by Romain Gary under his pen name Emile Ajar. I mostly read real stories that make me travel. Recently I really liked the autobiographical novel "The day Nina Simone stopped singing" by Darina Al Joundi about her childhood in Lebanon.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love cooking with people while talking about everything and anything. We could cook together!
Also, I love talking about politics, feminism or ecology. I would love to debate with new people :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

It's pretty simple actually but I would just like to share a moment with cool people :) I am a real chatterbox about a lot of different subjects and I am also really curious about hearing your stories.
