About Me

Hi everyone!

I'm back on CS after a period away. Grateful for all the nice people I've met, I want to keep on the adventure!

Nature and mountain lover, I love hiking, biking, climb (still a beginner in that domain), and even run sometimes.

I also like singing with others ,play the guitar and ukulele!

PHILOSOPHY

Be yourself, everyone else is already taken- Oscar Wilde

"L'avenir tu n'as pas à le prévoir mais à le permettre" - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

"Life is a dream, realize it.
Life is a struggle, accept it.
Life is an adventure, dare it."
Mother Teresa

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first CS experiences were in Marocco and Spain (Barcelona, Grenada).
Since then, I've always met really very cool and original people- either in France or abroad.

I love this travelling opportunity where you can truly share and live the way of life of the inhabitants ;)

I'm fond of music, and I listen to all kind of music (depending on my mood):

Imani, Jarabe del Palo, Tracy chapman, keziah jones, The lumineers, Nina Simone
ray charles,rodrigo y gabriela, still corners, Beirut, Deluxe, Jain..

Movies: Demain, Nous trois ou rien, Imagine, L'auberge espagnole, Mauvaises herbes, Captain fantastic, Ce qui nous lie...

Teach, Learn, Share

Some French unusual words to spice up a conversation:

-désuet: qui est tombé en désuétude, qui date d'une autre époque,
-erratique: instable, ne manifeste aucune tendance cohérente ; aléatoire
-éclectique: qui rassemble une grande variété de tendances, qui choisit dans des catégories très diverses (goûts éclectiques)
