french girl living in switzerland. i love traveling to discover new places but also – and more importantly – to meet new people and hear about their stories.

i am a student here in switzerland but i like to spend time doing as many things as possible outside of university. like getting lost in the beautiful mountains of my region or gardening or learning languages – to name a few. i am also engaged in social and environmental projects around my hometown, to help with integration of refugees in the swiss society and to promote reflexions on ecological issues.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

to meet new people, to hear new stories, to learn new things.
and because a place's buildings or mountains are never as interesting as the people actually living there!

even when not using couchsurfing i often travel as an informal couchsurfer (:

Music, Movies, and Books

i read a lot, and many different kinds of stuff: french and russian poetry, old classics of literature, my food's ingredients, science fiction, recipes, wine labels, boring essays or articles. i sometimes read people's mind, too.
but in terms of books only, i have maybe two favorite: l'écume des jours by boris vian and l'insoutenable légèreté de l'être by milan kundera.

i love to discover music from all times and all places. i'll be more than happy to hear that of your country!
here are a few i never get tired of: pink floyd, house music, psychedelic rock, traditional arabic / persian / armenian music. and the sound of water to fall asleep to.

i don't watch a lot of movies but always enjoy a good one with some ice cream.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

swimming in basically every cold mountain lake i encounter – may it be in switzerland, kyrgyzstan, alaska, or anywhere.

Teach, Learn, Share

i'll be happy to share with you anything i've got once we meet. food, time, wine, ideas – who knows?
