About Me

ABOUT ME

Sociable, easygoing, respectfull and open minded.
My challenge everyday : open myself to the others, offer the better version of me with every person i met, be useful for the human community, share the joy of living.

I currently work part-time in the social sector as a communications officer.
I dedicate the rest of my time to my artistic projects and several training courses (lately in musicotherapy).

I previously lived in Chile for nearly two years (2016)

I traveled alone for eight months in 2023 (Chile, Brazil, and Colombia).

Since that trip, I've been passionate about forro, a Brazilian dance that revolutionized my vision of partnered dancing.

I'm the kind of person who's very active but regularly needs to stop to contemplate the beauty around me, nature, and connect with my inner life.

I live as simply as possible, trying to accumulate as less possible. I like to feel free about those things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people and sharing moments :)
I have so much to learn from each human being and it creates so many beautiful memories...
