ABOUT ME

Best way to know me at the moment : http://lesandesfilees.wordpress.com

I work as a journalist about fair trade, sustainable developement, respect and defense of minorities.

My current project is to travel through Peru, Ecuador and Bolivia in 2012 to write freatures concerning these issues.

Please, if you are interested in those things, do contact me !

Otherwise I studied philosophy and I love it, I love dance (ballet, contemporary dance, salsa, or any danse just for fun...), I enjoy good wine, good food (and like cooking). I like cinema, traveling, meet new culture and people...

PHILOSOPHY

To enjoy as much as I can while remaining upright with myself. Respecting others and sharing experiences.
Always be positive and see the good side of things

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Couch surfing experience is just great! My flat in Paris is too small to host people, but I'll be happy to meet you for a drink and give you tips about what to see in Paris

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I first "couch surfed" in June 2008 in Sweden. That was really lovely, I've meet very nice and open-minded people. I loved it and I'm looking forward to couch surfing again ! :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Favorite books I have in mind right now:
"Belle du Seigneur", Albert Cohen
"Fureur et mystère", René CHar
"La Chartreuse de PArme", Stendhal
"Les illusions perdues", Balzac
"Les fleurs du mal", Baudelaire
"Le Parfum" (Das PArfüme ?) Süskind
"The God of small things", Arundhati Roy.

For music, it actually changes with time! I would say I like world music, jazz-tsigane, sometimes popular rock music and classic music.

For movies, the same, it can change. It would be more meaningful to say which directors I like the most : Woody Allen, Jean-Pierre Genet, Almodovar, Kim Ki Duk, Wong Kar wai... et probably other that I don't have in mind right now.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The year I spent in Finland. I saw northern lights, swam in a frozen lake, went to North cap (Norway)... Just awesome.
