About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Getting ready for real life after studies

ABOUT ME

Young Swiss-Congolese lady who got tired of the small 'idyllic' village she came from and therefore left it for the brave new world.

Nobody likes people who talk of themselves in the 3rd person, so I switch: My friends would probably describe me as quite calm, but I like to laugh and I'm always up for a good party or dinner with friends.
I'm intrested in environmental issues (yes, global warming is happening!) but i also like less heavy stuff as eating chocolate and of course meeting new poeple from all over the world.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm woodstock.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

surf and let surf

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

little surfing and hosting, and the parties are always big fun!

Interests

I'm very intrested in music: I play the violin and the piano. I like to listen to classical, indie, latin, electro, soul and much more. I very much enjoy live concerts and work as Staff at the Montreux Jazz Festival when I have the time for it.

For the moment I'm improving my cooking skills, so if you let me sleep on your couch, you'll be rewarded with a nice cake or mousse au chocolat :)
I did athletics untill I was 18 years old, I'm still working out but not that much anymore, but I'm kind of a Olympics freak, for me it's supposed to be a very peaceful event.
And I like shoes.

Music, Movies, and Books

For music see interests.
Movies: Good Bye Lenin, Garden State, La Vie en Rose, eeh... let me think... ah, Inglorious Basterds, Monty Python movies, Snatch, well that kind of stuff. I'm not too much into cheesy love stories or very violent movies (Inglorious Basterds is an exeption).
Books: Das Leben eines Clowns, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead (i read it at least 3 times and i love the movie), Harry Potter, Die Buddenbrocks, Kafka, Ionesco, etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sleeping in a hammock next to a lagoon in Chacahua, México, best sleep I ever had!
