About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Discovery of worlds: yours, mine, ours.

ABOUT ME

Determinated but Adaptive; Pragmatic but Fun; Sweet but Impulsive; Warm but Unsentimental; Eco-friend but not extremist; Organized; Clean; Honnest, sometimes too much so.
Love cats, not dogs.
I love living with lots of people, sharing a meal, an evening, laughing with them, to go dancing.
I try to eat organic food, when I can, because I think it's important but it's expensive in France!

PHILOSOPHY

My goal is to be able to see "the glass half full", which isn't always very easy. I would like to be able to consider something "negative" not as "negative" but as neutral in my feelings.

I think one should have projects and dreams and try to make them come true, while staying open to every opportunitie.

I like changing my point of view on relationships, on situations...I love thinking "why not" when someone makes me discover something I had never heard about before.

J'aime ces citations sur le voyage, elles me parlent beaucoup:
"Le véritable voyage de découverte ne consiste pas

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I know this website because my ex-roommates used to host CouchSurfers in our house in Toulouse, and I met some really interesting and nice people.
In Québec City, I used to participate to the CS meetings on Mondays, and I tried to suggest and to participate to some activites.
In Toulouse, I hosted people and I loved that!!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Memories of CouchSurfing:
- a portrait of myself
- a roasted chicken
- a mural
- "Life is a moonwalk on 14th Avenue de la Gloire"
- a cat with hair cut!
- a perfect breakfast
- a lot of laught and cook
- good nigths and discoveries
- meeting my second family

Everywhere you go you leave an impression, but you also take something with you; I hope to leave something memorable wherever I go, and learn something from everyone I meet.
