CURRENT MISSION

TOURING FRANCE HITCHIKING

ABOUT ME

ALL about me? :)
OK. I'm French, outgoing, nice. Very late on schedule all of the time but I make my best that it's not a bother for others. I love "clean" but don't care for "messy", I'm talkative and people tend to think I'm funny but not in the "joke" kind, I'm bad at telling jokes. I love eating good-fresh-from-the-market-ingredients-kind-of-out-of-ordinary-recipes and I'm compiling recipes from people I meet. I like to cook, read, stare, all while listening to a LOT of music. I'm not shy most of the time but sometimes I get very awkward for no reason at all but don't we all? I want to travel more and more, discovering people and cultures but also through my beautiful country ! I believe I have strong values but my opinions are influenced everyday by people I meet. I expect to get it all right when I'm in my nineties, hopefully.

PHILOSOPHY

If it doesn't depend on you, don't feel bad, nor good, for it.
Find what you can do or be thankful but keep moving on .
You don't know people until you let them know you.

"A spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go by and every task you undertake becomes a piece of cake!"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

It is not possible for me to host as for now. And I probably will stop answering messages soon about this :( When I have a place on my own I will be glad to host! But I'm in Lyon and got some time sometimes, hit me up to have me tell you what's cool to do and where to go (according to me) in places I've been/lived!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

At first I met many coachsurfers and that's kind of why I'm doing this now. My first and only couchsurfing experience was in Chicago and a very successful one! I definitely will be using couchsurfing again!

For movies, Breakfast on Pluto, Buffalo 66, Mary Poppins, Le Feu Follet, Hook, La ragazza con la valigia.. so many more

For books, poetry from Baudelaire, in the wild adventures novels like "The Last American Man" about Eustace Conway or "On the Road" by Kerouac, essays about religion/beliefs interest me a lot, and classics of course, French ones especially :) Try "Les Illusions Perdues" by Balzac it's amaaazinng!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I euh. I.. Hum. I don't know.

I visited the CERN center in Switzerland on its only open house day and it was amazing!

I saw Neil Young in concert ? :)
