Background in visual arts (painting, drawing, photography, stick and poke tattoos) but also with interests in jewelry making, gardening, food, anything DIY - I also know a lot about essential oils and I love to make my own remedies with salves, creams or oils preparations. I enjoy vegan/vegetarian food and I'm a pretty awesome cook :)
I love all animals, especially cats :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd love to meet new people while traveling. I don't believe into being a tourist!! I am also on a very tight budget and couchsurfing is an opportunity to bring everything I'm passionate about together. I also love to immerge myself in the culture & the place I'm visiting.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to pretty much everything, from jazz, blues, old school rock n roll, rock, indie... to.... psychedelic trance, drum and bass, raggae, jungle, downtempo..

Books : i love to read, so anything interesting i can put my hands on. I prefer books that teach me something! May it be a way of thinking, acting, being...

Movies: i love independent movies, documentaries, adventure & sci-fi movies. I enjoy anything well realized, well done. Lately I've enjoyed Wes Anderson's movies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Living in nature (jungle?) For 3 months - no running water, no modern toilet, no shower, no gaz stove, no electricity. Lived the hippie rainbow life in a community of like minded people trying to be one with nature.

Spending an afternoon with tigers at a Tiger Temple, visiting Angok Wat in Cambodia.
