CURRENT MISSION

Enjoying New Zealand, see as much as I can and make the most of it, let go, stop worrying about stupid things... find some other points of view and wisdom

ABOUT ME

I am a student in business, now in New Zealand, was in Montreal for a semester last year, I come back to France from time to time! I enjoy a lot wandering everywhere, especially dark pubs and sink in thoughts for long hours...like being alone! So now I'd like to discover people much more... stop kidding, I'm not that unsociable, I hope :) I'm pretty easy going, love meeting people and confronting new ways of life, enjoying my time far of TVs and computers...love sailing and playing guitar too!

PHILOSOPHY

there is neither hazard nor destiny things happen for a reason. We always have the choice. Some people might disagree, I like to see life as a game, this doesn't mean no responsibilities, but that I must take the best of this life and that's my responsibility. Never blame exterior events for what happened, even if it is sometimes easier... Human nature ?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I subscribed to this very interesting concept last year when I was in Montreal. I wanted to travel to Quebec, it was my first experience of couchsurfing. I have a couch in my apartment in Lyon, France which I was thinking to propose to couchsurfers when I would get back home. unfortunately I had no time to give to couchsurfers, too much study.. I really want to have a good and valuable time with CS so I'm waiting for a less busy time to do it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first time was in Quebec and it was just awesome!!! Vicky was a very welcome host, she showed me every places of the city and outside that had to be seen... we had fun and a great time, it was a realy nice surprise. My second time was in Oamaru, New Zealand, was also very good, our hosts were really nice and showed us the city and the places we should see too.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite books, those which left me odd feelings when I closed them up :"Illusion: the adventures of a reluctant Messiah" and "Jonathan Livingston Seagull" of Richard Bach, "Le Lion" of Joseph Kessel, "Les sept plumes de l'aigle" of Henri Gougaud, "Véronica décide de mourir" of Paolo Coelho... and much more

what about music? I loved listening a huge variety of music from celtic to rock and folklore or traditional music. I love playing guitare as well, from times to times singing, to give you few examples, Debout sur le zinc, la rue Ketanou, Louise attaque, the Cranberries, Georges Brassens, the Beattles, Loreena McKennith, Aldebert...eclectic enough !
