About Me

I am currently travelling around Europe, so I don't have a couch to offer for the next 2 months a least.

CURRENT MISSION

"Unity and Smile"

The word "mission" is a little bit strong, but if I can add a bit of Good in someone's day (or life) simply by smiling, caring or being kind to them...I'll be happy :) After all, we are all part of a same world, breathing the same air, walking on the same ground...Happiness should be something we share for free, with no measure :)
And...always being true to myself and others

ABOUT ME

I am a very easy going, active and passionate person. Very curious and open, I believe everyone has a good story to tell, and I love to listen to people's stories and life experiences. Never judging, I place respect of the others and self-respect in my top values. I'm also always keen to learn new things, discover new places. I am very active, love to be outside, and I can talk about anything, no matter if it's a deep conversation about life or lighter subjects of discussion. I enjoy more a cup of coffee or a drink with friends than partying all night...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think that the people we meet in life can make a difference in an experience. While travelling, having the chance to meet locals can bring opportunities to see or live a country or a city in a special way, making the experience different than what most people do. And who knows if, while couch surfing, I wouldn't meet people with who I could make connections and friendships for years...

Interests

I am interested in so many things! Music, of amy kind, is always playing at home. Without being a professional photographer, I love wandering around with my camera, eyes wide open, searching for those little beautiful things ignored by so many people. And taking THE "perfect shot" always gets me so excited! I'm also really interested in languages. Learning a new language to me is important not only for communication, but also because it involves opening doors onto new worlds and new cultures, and so discovering so much more than words and grammar rules! Then one main thing for me is the "great outdoors". Being stuck between 4 walls all day is not for me. Barely nothing can make me feel better than spending the day kayaking, cycling or even better, hiking and admiring the views from the top of a mountain.

Music, Movies, and Books

I gotta think about that...I'll get back to you when I come up with an answer...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Few days ago I hiked my highest mountain up to these days. For some people it would probably be not that much, but getting to the top of La Tournette in Haute-Savoie and seeing, few kilometres away, the Mont Blanc above a sea of clouds...THAT was amazing! And I wanna do more of that! Oh and Skydive was also amazing :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I don't know if I have much to actually teach people. I really enjoy discussing, exchanging and sharing different experiences and points or view with people. I think that being open and talking and listening to people is the best way to learn and/or teach (to them and even to yourself). I think I'm pretty good now at accepting and facing challenges in life, and letting go things I cannot control...That's something I could share and teach to whoever would like ;) Oh! and I can teach French and English! :D

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share anything people would be interested in (Ok, maybe not my toothbrush...) life experiences, ideas, projects and passions. And also very important, sharing a meal (vegetarian if possible) and a glass of wine! ...or two ;)
