ABOUT ME

I'm a french girl who decide to travel during 1 year in 2008/2009. I spend 9 months around Australia, 1 month in India and 40 days in Southeast Asia (Singapore, Malaysia & Thailand). I like to meet new people and share experiences.
I'm now back in Paris and I book a "far" trip once a year.

PHILOSOPHY

"Il faut toujours connaître les limites du possible. Pas pour s'arrêter, mais pour tenter l'impossible dans les meilleures conditions." R.Gary
In english that could be : "Always know the limits of the possible. Not to stop but to try the impossible in the best conditions."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had just one experience, in Australia, so far of couchsurfing and it was great ! (June 2009)
After my second couchsurfing in Singapore, I keep thinking that's a great way to meet people and discover new places. (July 2009)
My third experience was iKn Kuala Lumpur and once again it was really good. (July 2009)
The last one was in London with 2 different hosts : 1st = amazing couple, 2nd = not a very good experience... (November 2010)

Interests

I love skiing, I know it's not in Oz and in Asia that I'll do that too much !! But I like walking, reading, watching a movie or just chating about everything.
I'd love speak german again. I learn end it for 10 year at school but now I'm not really able to have a conversation anymore.
