About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life.

ABOUT ME

(My first name is pretty hard to pronounce for non-French speakers, so don't hesitate to call me Polly as most of my non-french speakers friends do).

I though the schooling I had done was not enough so I'm now starting a Phd ! I'm a big fan of food and all the big global issues that are related to it.

I decicated the past years in teaching sociology at University, doing research and when possible keep on discovering the world. I am really into slow travel, walking or cycling most of the time to feel the places and the landscapes I happen to cross.
Sometimes planes can also be usefull, specially for research trips.

PHILOSOPHY

"always further, why staying blind if we've got 2 eyes !"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been hosted a few times in Australia and South Estern Asia but at the moment, unluckily, I live in such a small place... As soon as I get settle, I'll be pleased to host people.
Overall, we really like the idea of non direct reciprocity, we think that's a good way to develop a peaceful world.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have been hosted a couple of time, some crazy CS nights as well. When i can't host, i manage to help people who need to get settle in Paris (finding a flat, places to visit, giving tips, ...). Hoping to host soon...

Interests

Food (oh yeah !), global issues and crazy nights of discussions, I can also be calm and relax, enjoy an amazing landscape, walk in the peaceful nature and do more than just the "must seen places " in cities I pass by.

Music, Movies, and Books

Almost all types of music, except some heavy metal and rap bands.

For some unkown reasons, I recently tend to developp a taste for some very kitch bolywood and indian musics. But don't be affraid, i really like World music and some electronic music too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

To me simple things are quickly amazing, right now i'm thinking of having met some good friends, being to Egypt 9 months long, coming back from Australia, have 2 paradises on Earth (Eaggle bay in Western Australia and the farm I comes from in France), hitch hiked for 5 weeks in Malaysia and Thailande,... hips more, we need to meet to talk about it!

Teach, Learn, Share

like to learn how to speak better english, can teach a bet of french, the way to make a french cocktail and some other french food (maybe a quiche lorraine), ...
