ABOUT ME

I have a master degree in cultural studies / visual arts and have been working in exhibitions production and public relations in museums and cultural associations recently.
I've been a french exchange student at UNC Asheville, NC for the year 2009-2010 and I tried to travel in the US a little bit at that time.
According to my awesome ex roommate, I am : "Creative, open-minded, smart, funny, out-going, with sens of humour, mellowed, sociable, friendly ..." Not saying she was totally objective but still ;-)
I'm just tryin to live my life like I feel it, filling it with people and art basically!
I like tattoos, cats, discovering and beer.

Do not hesitate of you have ANY question.

PHILOSOPHY

Whatever works.
Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I currently live at my parent's so hosting someone is not really easy for me .. But I can still have a coffee with you or show you around the city if you come to Lille!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Some wonderful couchsurfing experiences in some big US cities. They were all different and awesome! And they were because it allowed me to meet great people and to go to places / see things that I would never have discovered by myself : the magic of local people. That's what discovering cultures and places is about, right ?

Couchsurfed in Chicago, IL / Miami, FL / New Orleans, LA / NYC / Atlanta, GA / Raleigh, NC / Durham, NC / Seattle, WA / Norfolk, VA / Nashville, TN ...
But also San Sebastian (Spain), Turin (Italy), ...

Interests

Photography, Art in general actually.

I actually can be down for a lot of different things to do and places to go to - not much about very very touristical places.

And also all those little joys in life like having a cigarette with my coffee, slide my fingers in cotton clothes, google-ise everything, woke up on a sunny day...

Living. Extraordinary enough to me!

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you a little bit of french if you'd like or try to cook you something as well !
I'd always be down to share food/ beer.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I do not think it's about what I can share, but more about what WE can share : small moments of happiness through travelling that can sometimes change your life.
