I'm Gaëlle (she/her) ! I'm a literary translator (from English to French) and freshly graduated make-up artist (✨passions✨) who loves to travel, read and try all kinds of art-related stuff. I'm pretty outgoing (though I like to have my alone time) and easy to live, I make bad puns (sorry) but I can cook crêpes 😇😂

I would love to host people, but my appartment is too small and full of sculpture/craft stuff at the moment D:

Good to know: I travel with a small matelas and a sleeping bag, meaning I can sleep anywhere, I'll be fine even if you can only lend me a small spot on the ground 😎👌😂

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I've been wanting to give Couchsurfing a try for a long time because discovering a new city/country with locals is the best way to get to know a new place! I like to meet new people but I'm usually a bit shy when it comes to speaking to strangers, so I thought Couchsurfing could be a nice way to step out of my comfort zone.

And fav/comfort books: How to Be a Normal Person (T.J. Klune 🙏), Meg Corbyn (Anne Bishop, especially the first and the last ones) and the Percy Jackson s (Rick Riordan, the whole series + Heroes of the Olympus)

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Maybe not so amazing, but I went on a "small" roadtrip with a friend of mine even through we're both newbies at driving (meaning: we don't drive much 😂)
We crossed Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany and Denmark, it was awesome for a first time!

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I know a lot about art practice in general, I can give some tips on bodypainting makeup, sculpture, paint, drawing, macrame, linocut, crochet, craft projects... And I'm always willing to share a bit of French!
And the other way around, I love to learn about new things, especially art or language related stuff but I'm always open to new experiences of all kind!
