Hello !

Manue, born in France - whom doesn't really look french - in my own country people use to speak to me in English!

To introduce, I completed a solo backpacking trip of few year: Crossing Asia from Russia by Transiberian, horse riding and hitchhiking. I traveled a lot in South and central America, Kurdistan, us, eu... living in some old school bungalows on the beach, dome in eco village in the mountain, x.. on my own in nowhere, my tent in front of beautiful landscape...

Since the pandemic my life is much calmer, I've got a full time job and living in an house next to Paris. Regular life they say

ABOUT ME

Idealistic ... a tad unconventional, curious, creative, loving Lézards (Actually this pun dosn't work in english :), colors, Alternative music, escape ... and adopts a constant need to travel and to learn new things.

PHILOSOPHY
Less serious, more wisdom.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

CURRENT MISSION

I don’t travel as much as I used to be, so bringing people from everywhere brings me something I miss. It opens new horizon too… And I've been hosted so much...!!

I've been travelling or hosted by some incredible people who have honestly changed my life and that kind of connection is pretty rare - it's amazing the feeling to find like-minded souls.

I used to enjoy couchsurfing when I was out of my "comfort zone". Meet people and their stories and perhaps to built a project together. Who knows.

it's sometimes hard to find your community, but I think we bring people together - it's pretty great!

Interests

travelling close to the mountains or magical trees, to discover an offbeat theater room, observing my surroundings, go skiing, reading in the middle of nowhere, follow the festivals road (Trance in first place), hear claims of some minority, to sketch, eco lifestyle, I love to dance and try to get to ecstatic dance when there is one near where I am.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Decide one day to totally change my lifestyle and let everything behind!
Coming back from it isn’t that easy but totally worse it

To spend 3 days walking with a 20kg backpack to get to an incredible eco village in Siberia.

Camp alone in the snow in the middle of nowhere in Mongolia for weeks

Find a way to sleep in the train in China :)

To cross one country (Singapore) without any money

Hitchhiking...in spain ! (Hardest country ever for it believe me)

To come back in Europe !!

Teach, Learn, Share

in to share about cultures, adventures, good plan, sharing about beautiful landscape around, alternative way of living, art, how to hitchhike and camp almost everywhere.
I used to say that my English is fluent in the wrong sense of the word: basically, I can do it for hours/months without thinking about it, with the worst mistakes ever made having lived in the UK for a few years!

What I Can Share with Hosts

meet in my world too, share travel stories, dream around a tea or wine, talking about our thought and questions, going and dance in crazy place.
