About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To not fear anything... even this big spider in the sink!

ABOUT ME

I currently live in Little Rock, Arkansas, where I came to follow my boyfriend Nick (or Nicolas Lhomme on CS). I am a student at UALR (University of Arkansas in Little Rock)and I study Speech Communication in a Master's program. Honestly I didn't expected it to be so interresting! :)

One reason it is so interesting is that I decided to write my MA Paper on Couchsurfing, and more precisly on how CSers interact to each others'. Thus, you are more than welcome to stay at our place, but I will have a lot of questions for you!

Before that Master, I was having a peaceful life in France, full of free time and vacations, when I used to be a student in the art field. No time for that anymore!! :D

So, even if I really like it, I will be very happy when I'll finish! Our next plan, is just to go somewhere else, see other landscapes, feel another weather, hear other languages. Feel stranger again.

PHILOSOPHY

"qui vivra, verra"... In English "the one who lives, sees"... Not sure about this translation. Well, live your life to enjoy yourself!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By:

Hosting whoever knocks at the door,
Trying to communicate the best I can,
Being open to any point of views (or try to be! :),
Bringing beer or wine to my host when I surf,
Being positive,
Trusting CSers...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfing means sharing, right? Or if not, it should! I believe CS brings back our social skills, and it personally restored my confidence about the people.
Who knew that a website would have been able to heal our broken relationships with the Others...

Interests

I travelled quite a lot, but i'm kinda new to couchsurfing concept. I'm easygoing, and i love lots of different things. I love food (cooking and eating),shopping, nature, nightlife,hiking, dancing and of course art, music, dance, reading (but i've been lazy lately).

I hope to learn things from people about the world and about myself, i just want to know lots of people (as everybody here... i hope!)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have spent an afternoon with the president of Estonia, Mr Ilves, and we had tea together. I have been offered a beatiful blue beetle by kids in Thailand... I just noticed it was alive several hours later, when it was flying like crazy in the bus.
I chased kangaroos at night in Australia.
I had my first flight last year, and i piloted for the takking off...
