Overview
About Me
As Gil Scott-Heron once said: I'm new here. I'm a 27 year-old PhD student who's currently living in Paris. Besides my academic career, I work with children with motor and intellectual disabilities. I share a lot of complicity with tem; they are my greatest joys.
Those are my two great passions: cinema and education. And, of course, the classics: traveling, literature, gastronomy and architecture.... I value above all the little things because they are what really make us great.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
After spending a lot of years with my eyes closed, I recently started to seeing the world from a different perspective. Now, I consider myself more open-minded and up for new experiences than I used to be !

And the list goes on and on and on. But three things: All Jarmusch, All Apatow and I'm always in the mood for Match Point.
Literature: The Bell Jar, Auster, Dahl's The witches, Los detectives salvajes, On the road, Ben Brooks...
Music: from James Blake to My Bloody Valentine, from Wu-Tang Clan to Nick Cave, from Songs:Ohia to Nosaj Thing, from Portishead to Micah P. Hinson.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Come to Paris (almost) without speaking French to work with an autistic child. Quite a challenge, an experience I will never forget
