CURRENT MISSION
DO IT YOURSELF!
ABOUT ME
Travel, art and people are my life, my passion and my profession.
I am a happy, highly creative and adventurous, natural, passionate & honest catalan-french woman. I have lived in various countries and I am always a bit on the move, looking for new places and cultures to learn from.
I love cycle and I generally love the outdoors and I am always keen to do as many little escapades as possible. Trekking in Natural parcs is great! I'm not a high risk sports freak though!
I do art regularly through painting, drawing and printmaking. For the last few years I had been concentrating a bit more on the musical side putting a record out in 2006 and I should be releasing a second one next fall. Photography is always a pleasure, especially on my travels.
Overall I like the simple and mostly natural pleasures of life condimented with loads of freedom and cultural interaction.
I'm easy going and adapt easily to whatever situation. I'm independent too and although I like to spend a minumum of time with the person/people I'm staying with (so I don't feel like I'm only using a couch) I'm happy to wander around on my own.
PHILOSOPHY
Live and let live.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
My partner and I are currently going to Belguim - Flanders (really soon) to investigate the area and it would be really helpful if we could find a couch to surf in towns like Antwerp, Ghent or Bruges for a couple of nights at the time. Local advice will be most appreciated!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Throughout the years & travels I have hosted and stayed in many different places. I always prefer to stay with local people as it helps to make the most of the experience and to get to know a destination from within.
