About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My global goal is to be able to do what ever I want without fear and without regrets.

ABOUT ME

Currently on a bike tour with my boyfriend across the Americas. We are enjoying this method of transportation to travel and meet new people. We are slow enough to see the landscapes around and fast enough to ride around 50-75 miles a day!
We started on July 31 2015 from our home, Whitehorse and are about to cross the border for Mexico in few days (beginning of December 2015)
Easy people, totally self efficient. We love to meet new people on the road and talk about our experiences and hear about yours!

PHILOSOPHY

As I said earlier : try to be yourself, enjoy your life and don't regret your experiences !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted a few times when i was living in Whitehorse and in a house. I loved it a lot. Hopefully i will be able to do it again in the future! After my big trip!

Interests

Since I moved in Whitehorse I really enjoy the outdoor in general , like biking, hiking, jogging, gardening.
I also like hanging out with my friends, share some beers.
Music, litterature and cooking are important for me. I consider these three elements as a big part of a culture. It can say a lot about a country.

Music, Movies, and Books

most of the scandinavian litterature (Arto Paasilinna, Henning Mankell, Arnaldur Indridason...)
Pedro Almodovar's Movie.
70's music, hindie rock, french music....

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Live in the bush near Dawson City with no road access during 6 weeks. We had to cross the river by walk in winter time and by canoe in summer time. Be stuck in the house during the break-up. We had a small cabin without water or elecrticity but with a well and solar pannel. Grow fruits and veggies like tomatoes, apples and watermelon up north was an amazing experience but really hard because of the frost !

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some french if you can teach me some english !
I love cooking and it will be a pleasure to share my best recipes with you.
