À propos de moi

CURRENT MISSION

Forever young... I wanna be...

ABOUT ME

I finish studies for years ago with an amazing semester in Quebec. Now, I'm a teacher in primaryscool in Geneva and I love it! As my experience was great during my stay in Canada, I plan to do an exchange in the futur with a teacher in Quebec to give lessons during 1 year there!!! Hope to have this opportunity!

PHILOSOPHY

Comme je suis quelqu'un de toujours souriant, on va dire que cette citation me plait bien ;)

Un sourire ne coûte rien et produit beaucoup
Il enrichit ceux qui le reçoivent
Sans appauvrir ceux qui le donnent
Il ne dure qu'un instant
Mais son souvenir est parfois éternel
Personne n'est assez riche pour s'en passer
Ni n'est assez pauvre pour ne pas le mériter
Il crée le bonheur au foyer
Il est le signe sensible de l'amitié
Un sourire donne du repos à l'être fatigué
Rend courage aux plus découragés
Il ne peut ni s'acheter, ni se prêter, ni se voler
Car c'est une chose qui n'a de valeur
Qu'à partir du moment où on le donne
Et si parfois vous rencontrez une personne
Qui ne sait plus avoir le sourire
Soyez généreux, donnez-lui le vôtre
Car nul n'a autant besoin d'un sourire
Que celui qui ne peut en donner aux autres.

Gandhi

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I begin to host people since september. When somebody is coming to my place, I always try to manage some free time to share things about my city/country. Most of time, I show a around and explain about history of Geneva, lead my couchsurfers to the typical local places where I spend time, of course we share a drink and a fondue (the Swiss food by excellence^^). And Sometimes, if I have a a meal or party with friends, I invite my couchsurfers to join us!!!

At the end of the schoolyear, I plan to take a break and travel for 1 year around the world. It will be my first experience as a surfer!
My plan is to begin my trip in New Zealand and go back to Europe by sailing. For now, the project is to pass trough New Zealand, Australia, New Guinea, New Caledonia, Fidji, Samoa, french Polynesia, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina, Bresil, Republic Dominica, Cuba, Miami, United States, Canada, Cap Vert, France.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Just look at my references, and you will learn about my experiences with the surfers I've host till now.

Centres d'intérêt

-sports:
especially water sports, perhaps because I was a swimming teacher, I really appreciate the sensation you can get on and in the water. Surfing, sailing, wakeboard are the one I pratice the most.
Snowboarding, another sliding sport I enjoy each winter, giving lessons too. Believe me, you really have to come to Swiss Alps, the landscape of our beautiful mountains is awesome in wintertime!
-dancing:
let's go together on the dance floor, I really enjoy it. Doing salsa since 2 years, I just begin rock lessons. So, let's get back with me to the 60's 70's 80's when our parents where dancing rock'n'roll on Elvis Presley!!
-Travelling around the world and meeting new poeple everywhere I can. Since I begin traveling first time in Australia, I can't stop anymore.
-Sharing my passion about education, and take care of kids with benevolence.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

SKYDIVING!!!
That the most amazing moment I've had in my life...
My best friend said about it:
"It's just like that. Think about all the orgasms you have had in your life, put them all together, multiplcate the whole by ten (x10)... and that's not again enough" (means you feel much more sensation by skydiving^^)
