CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy the life, every day!

ABOUT ME

After almost five years living abroad (Mexico, Argentina, England), I'm back to my native city in France: Nantes. A wonderful place that is worth to visit!

About me? I rekon I'm a joyful and friendly person. I'm imaginative, creative, passionate, daydreamer and utopist sometimes? I love to discover, to share, to meet people from everywhere.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in diversity, in exchanges, transfers, mixing. I try to discover and to understand the world as it is: mulicultural, wonderful and elaborated.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've been hosted several times, all of them where great moments. I met very nice people, lovely personalities, and when I leave a couchsurfer place, I always feel different, richer from the experience! Some couchsurfers became really good friends, everytime I had the opportunity to stay a bit longer in a city.

I'd like to host more people. I think that some problems have prevented it: I used to live abroad until now, my own places were really small or shared with other people that were not so keen on couchsurfing :(. And it seems that nobody wants to go in my family's place, next to Nantes, hahaha! I barely have couch requests, that's a pity!!
So, I promise, when I get a real flat to live, I'll make up for the lost time!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I stayed several times in couchsurfers' places, in Barcelona, San Sebastian, Girona (Spain), Morelia (Mexico), Brighton... All were fantastic experiences.

My family received a mexican boy at home while I was travelling. Unfortunately I couldn't meet him, but the experience seemed to be successful: two months afterwards, my family was still talking about l'adorable Damian'....

An example: a temazcal (traditional aztecan ceremony)with some mexican friends: strong, surrealist, inforgettable.
