About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Understand the World of the Men and visit Mother Earth

ABOUT ME

I am curious, positive, smiling towards life, love people and take care of those i am in love with...
I try to believe in a new order coming on earth
I studied environment and biology at university and I am thinking of ways to take care of nature, about transportation and housing.
I allways need to move myself, walking, running, cycling, dancing, may be i m a hyper active personn but i need to make working my body if not i m rusting!
I like urban life, clothing fashion, nightlife, culture, but also live in the countryside, growing the land, and cutting woods for the stove for the winter...

PHILOSOPHY

Smile to life!!! and life will smile to you...
I really believe in the power of having a positive attitude, it is so good for many things, especially for health and balance.
I feel lucky to have rigts (for example to be able to cross a border) have proper water and food everyday daybecause i had allready experiments it with my eyes and my belly!
We MUST be aware of the luck that we have to be born in a rich country.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just discovered the CS project and I am speaking about it to people around me, in order to make it grow up.
I m sure that all the CS people have something in common : open minded.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am lucky to get the experience, to be welcome in families in different countries (west africa, south west asia)
For example while hitchiking in Thailand, I was welcome by a family to spend the night, and they provided me with an amazing colourfull breakfast. Or in Vietnam during the Chinese New Year, I was invited by many families, for many nights, and i got drunk every day with rice alcool in abundance...
My first couchsurfing experience was at Williamsburg, New york city with a real vegan dude making worms compost in his brooklin flat, that's hot!!
And after, Jasper (canada), san francisco (best city on world) and in the california countryside...
what's next??

Interests

I like to ride my bike, play flute, wood working, dancing, talking, laughing : all the stuff that are good for my body!
I participated in an international workcamp in Danemark and Sweden, where I worked on the restoration of old wood buildings.It s a good way to learn new ways for wood working.
In my town, Lille, i m a active member of a community garden network,we trying to create more nature in town, we cultivate gardens and we built an ecological house with a bread oven.
I want to auto build my own bio climatic ecological house in wood and straw to grew up my family in a healthy environment.
I m active about alternatives ways of life like dry toilet, compost and dumpster diving.
I also tested community life like in a yourte village in south france, in an organic community in Danemark, or in a COOP in Montreal.
