CURRENT MISSION

Taking care of the most important things: children! I am childcare animator, I take care of kids around school time (lunch/afterschool) and during Wednesdays and holidays.

ABOUT ME

I'm curious, open-minded, social, enthusiastic. After trying to work in video editing and teaching, I realized I wasn't fit to stay behind a desk. So, after being animator in schools and leisure centers for children, in parallel with my studies in Paris, which I liked but I think I could do better, I wanted to take some time to think about my life, so I decided to travel for 2 years around the world, from South-East Asia and their Buddhist temples to Australia and New Zealand... And here I am, back on duty in Paris, France... after having lived for 6 year in the South (Montpellier) in-between!

PHILOSOPHY

Tolerance, dialog, solidarity, ecology, curiosity... I love to talk and share opinions, talking for hours to remake the world... In these sometimes frightening times, I think it's important to focus on human and environmental care.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would love to share my culture with you, and I'd love you to share yours with mine!
I've just a small 1 room flat for now, so I can't share it with you, but as soon as I settle, I'll be happy to share my couch!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE:
Third time, the first was in New Zealand, the second time in Belgium. Two nice encounters, the first one in NZ was amazing!

Interests

Travelling, seeing beautiful landscapes, meeting different people and cultures, taking some photos (even in 3D!), or just admiring what I see, cinema, improvisational theater, philosophy and political debates, laughing, talking (a lot!), protecting the environment... I've started fitness and self defense this year, and I like it!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchhinking all around New Zealand! Staying 10 days in a Buddhist temple in Thailand! Riding a defective scooter on a dangerous road in Laos, by night, in the dust with no glasses! Improvising theater in front of hundreds of people!

Teach, Learn, Share

Before all: a bright smile!
I can also show you : how to speak French and notions of English, how to shoot, edit a video and photos (even in 3D!), help with sciences, maths... And French politics (leftist here)!
I would like to learn: your language, about your culture, some instruments, to sing, to dance, to drink...
