About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Get my finals done so I can enjoy summer and get a job

ABOUT ME

I like traveling, and have done so a few times through couch surfing. I like hosting too, and have done it an equivalent number of times. As a student, I have times were I'm very available, and others when I'm not at all.

PHILOSOPHY

Good people always have happier lifes. Be honest, be nice, be helpfull, speak-up when you ought to, always give help even when nobody asked and nobody will know, begenerous but don't advertise or show it, and it will come back to you.

(it's not like I believe in karma or some mystical rewarding force, it's just that when you're an asshole you can't prevent yourself from realising that, while when you're discretely nice, it'll take time, but people will notice the world around you seems better, and they'll wanna be part of that)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've hosted a few times, some time ago, when I lived in more touristy Copenhagen, and served as a back-up plans for people who needed a place at some inconvenient time for me, but I did not wanna let sleep in the street! (thankfully they ended up always finding someone more available!)

Both hostings have been going very smooth, with friendly chatting, tip-exchanging and meal sharing, and I quite like having different kinds of people around, it gives a different perspective on things!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Had my first couch surfer, yeah! It was actually nice, we probably are keeping in touch. He's a german dude who staied for a week or so, and even though it was not the best time, we managed pretty well!

Second couch surfers: two french guys. Only stayed for two days, but they were cool, very talkative.

Third: two americans, older and quieter, but good conversation!

Interests

Everything!(but cars) I pride myself in being able to listen someone talk about anything (but cars)and look (and be) interested.

(of course, as a vegetarian, things involving animal welfare violations - like hunting, fishing, hamster+base ball batt and stuff I just don't wanna know about)

Music, Movies, and Books

Three favs:
Books
-La Nuit des Enfants Rois (forgot the author)
-Amélie Nothomb books (can't choose one, and they're
pretty much all the same anyways)
-Nicole de Buron's books (same thing)
But I can read anything (I don't like the classics so
much though)
Movies:
-A Serie of Unfortunate Events
-Chicago
-Hairspray
I don't like love movies, or even worse, sad
movies/serious movies/"author" movies/martial art
movies
Music:
-Bubble Gum Pop! (Vengaboys, Steps,Ricky Martin,
Aqua, Gwen Steph... you see what I'm talking about)
-American Garage Rock (the Offsprings, Greenday,
Blink 182, Sum 41, Smash Mouth, No Doubt...)
-The new awesome pop! (Mika, Alphabeat, Superbus,
Scissor Sisters, the Pipettes...)
To sum up, anything that is not dull, depressing, sad,
"intelligent" -> only music made to make my day
brighter!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen a girl beat up a security guard who had checked-out her girlfriend!

The best places to wipe your hands dry when there is nothing appropriate (if you want to keep somewhat elegant) are the inside of your pockets and your socks
