About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel Travel Travel!

ABOUT ME

Everything is said in the other sections!
But basically I've traveled a lot since young age, I've lived in a few countries since college for studies and work... That has always made me a curious and open-minded person who loves to have great encounters with people coming from other countries, cultures etc!

PHILOSOPHY

Carpe Diem
Better live with remorse than regrets

Interests

Dance, music, travelling everywhere, photography/lomography, eat, drink, sleep, practice a bit a sport like swimming, gym (so that I have the impression to be a healthy person sometimes), read (when I motivate myself to do so, which is rare but when I start a book I cannot stop reading until I finish it), internet and computer stuff (my Macbook is my life), and of course: ENJOY LIFE!

Music, Movies, and Books

Any kind of movies except horror movies.
Into the Wild is my favourite.

Any kind of music is fine to me but what I enjoy the most is ROCK music (from pop rock to hard rock, some gothic music too) and 60s to cheesy 80s music!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Been to several of the old and new 7 wonders: Great Wall in China, Petra in Jordan, Gizeh Pyramids in Egypt and Machu Picchu in Peru (and I hope to extend the list again soon!)
- Mountain biking on the "Death Road" in Bolivia
- Dived among turtles, huge fishes and sharks in French Polynesia
- Watched Northern Lights naked in the snow while having a sauna session in Swedish Lapland

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm not much of a manual person nor a teacher...

I used to draw fairly well as a teenager, but that time is over, since I haven't practiced much since college or taken up classes...
I can dance (10 years of jazz dance, some classes of ragga, funk and flamenco), and my strength is languages I'd say, but since many Couchsurfers also speak a few languages, it's not something relevant in this space haha.
I'm learning photography my own pace (I own a digital reflex, and a few lomography (analog) cameras), and I can cook lasagnas, pies and cakes (which doesn't mean I'm a great cook by the way haha)

Countries I’ve Visited

Australia, Bolivia, Canada, China, Costa Rica, Croatia, Czech Republic, Côte d'Ivoire, Dominican Republic, Egypt, French Polynesia, Greece, Indonesia, Jordan, Kenya, Norway, Peru, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Singapore, Thailand, Togo, Turkey, United States
