About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live and let people live.

ABOUT ME

I tried to defeat my fear of being in a place that speak only english because I am not very bilingual. But I still have hope that with a lot of travel in english states, I will get use of it.

I love to cook because I have no choice. I have to eat 2 times per day, 365 days per year and for around 30 more years. If I do not want to die from monotony, I have to try!

I am a Cambodian girl with and Quebecker education and I tried to get perfectly bilingual one day.

PHILOSOPHY

I don't want to save the planet. I just want to make difference on my own little circle of friends and family. People that are happy, will try to get everyone around them happy to.

People are not bad, they are just unhappy and sometime, they tried to make live miserable to some other because they don't want to be alone in their unhappiness world.

What ever you can't fight against, try to minimize the effect of that things on your life. That keep that in your body because cancer will wait around you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In 2006, we went to Chicago for the LOLLAPALOOZA festival. We host with Haijin (a very sympatic girl, member of Couch Surfing) at Sarah & Karl's house for 3 or 4 nights. We have such a beautiful first experience with Couch Surfing. These people was very enthusiastic. They help us to find our way in Chicago and because we do not have time, they guide us to some main activitys. We will never forget how significant was this first travel with CS.
