Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Participate in a better world, it CAN be done! La terre peut devenir un meilleur endroit (peu à peu) grâce à moi.
ABOUT ME
J'aime la terre follement, et ne suis pas complètement désillusionner des humains qui l'habitent. Mes sports favoris : escalade, soccer, ski (tous genres). Plutôt du genre social, j'aime parler, cuisiner, sortir, muséer, la musique, faire le drôle, et être sérieux à l'occasion. Adore voyager, mais aussi rester à la maison et apprécier.
I love earth with a passion & still am not completely disillusionned by us humans. Fave sports : rock climbing, soccer, ski (all types). Quite sociable, i like talking, cooking, goin' out, visiting museums, music, being funny, but also serious when the time comes. Love to travel, but also appreciates home.
PHILOSOPHY
The world is small and becoming smaller by the minute. We need to care for it! I believe we can learn to deserve our planet, not just take it for granted and treat it like it was endless and without feeling. What should we expect if we mistreat planet Earth, our only home? Lennon said it best : "All you need is (more) love" that's the answer.
Other than that, i believe in being the best i can be, learning is a never-ending journey.
Also, people are also SOOO important to me, i couldn't live without all these people in my life! All my trips are about meeting people and sharing special moments with them.
I admire the Dalaï Lama, he's changed my life with his philosophy of respect and of concentrating your attention on the best
AND, finally, i love life!

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
A venir - Coming soon
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I CS'd for the first time in October 2007, Marie was a very good host and we had a great (short, only 2 days) time together. I had to ask her what her mother thought about letting a pure stranger step into her house and cook her supper, and then sleep on her couch. Apparently, her mother was OK with the concept LOL, Marie perfectly incarnated the CS spirit, very trusting and welcoming. I'll be back!
