CURRENT MISSION

To be fully open to beauty around me and in people

ABOUT ME

I'm a sunny, happy, sensitive kind of person. Friendships are very important to me ! And light in the trees at dusk... and so many things.

PHILOSOPHY

Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
Live simply,
Love generously,
Care deeply,
Speak kindly.
Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...
It's about learning to dance in the rain.

(I borrow this quote from a friend's friend, because it is very much my own philosophy!)

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love the spirit of CS, and I try to be a good host !

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first CS experience was meeting some wonderful people during a trip to Italy for a tea or a drink... Thank you, Gaia, Etienne and Leo, for giving a whole new meaning to my travels. Since then I have hosted surfers from various places and each time it was truly rewarding!

兴趣

The way every tree holds up its branches to the light in a different way...

How small and important things can be revealed in a face if we pay attention...

Being touched by somebody's art that makes us see the world as it really is: deep and true.

音乐、电影和书籍

Ah... way too many good things to mention !
Goran Tunstrom is one of my favorite writers, though. And Eudora Welty. Also Nicolas Bouvier, of course: L'usage du monde.
Acoustic guitar is a must, all acoustic strings actually: oud, pipa, zheng... Also: a capella singing, Bach, Cat Stevens, Feist, Jean-Louis Murat, Zachary Richard...

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

One evening, while I was sitting on the Mont-Royal and watching the moon rise, a lovely, light-footed young fox came right up to me and started nibbling my shoelaces :o) Hey, little friend...

教，学，和分享

This summer I would like to learn (and practice) rock-climbing, and in the near future get some notions of Brazilian (I have always thought it is a lovely sing-song language) and Swedish (same thing :o)

I guess I could share some of my experiences about drawing and painting (like how to really "see" your subject)... and my famous hot cocoa secret recipe (I have to show you, can't explain over the Internet :o)
