About Me

CURRENT MISSION

découvrir d'autres cultures, des gens de tous les horizons, voyager

ABOUT ME

Naturelle, simple, ouverte, enthousiaste, optimiste, aimant la vie et désirant partager des idées, débattre et élargir mes horizons culturels !

PHILOSOPHY

Peace and love ;)
Live, discover, make the most of people and life, share experiences, ideas...!
and as said a great Portuguese poet: "O valor das coisas não está no tempo que elas duram, mas na intensidade com que acontecem. Por isso existem momentos inesquecíveis, coisas inexplicáveis e pessoas incomparáveis". / "The value of things is not the time they last, but the intensity with which they occur. That is why there are unforgettable moments and unique people" (Fernando Pessoa).

"L'ignorant affirme, le savant doute, le sage réfléchit" (Aristote).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

All the experiences of couch surfing I had so far were great ;)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had a richeful experience of couh surfing in Porto with a close friend who made me discover CS. We were so well welcome, had an invulgar sight and visit of Porto which made me love the city.
I also did couch surfing in Barcelona, India, Nepal... unforgettable experiences and people!!
I had the opportunity to welcome couch surfers and it's always very nice to meet people from the whole world, who visited other countries, to talk and share cooking, life experiences.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have been volunteering in different contexts, mostly with refugees, in Greece, Italy, lebanon, India, Bosnia... where I discovered amazing people, so much humanity, people very welcoming and giving everything while having nothing... the best experience of my life and I'm about to live again.

I was born in France and since I live in another country, Portugal, and discovered more concretely another culture (they don't seem so diferent but there are real diferences in everyday life, food and language!), live with people from other horizons and education "system", I was able to put my own culture into perspective and discovered many things about myself and people.

Teach, Learn, Share

Learn always more every day from everything, from other people, share points of view, curioisty and interests.
La vie est faite de rencontres !
We have to make the most and learn from each moment.
Carpe Diem
