About Me

I've just begun a formation in quality security environment.
Before this I have been a cook and before a nature guide.

I'm really curious about the world, about what people can say to me.
I talk easily and I'm really active.
I've ever lived with housemates. We're currently 4 and it's great adventure !
Hitch hiking became a philosophy, and my favorite way of traveling for a while.
My bike has been my third lung for many years, even if I turned myself more into walking now.
I'm so pleased when I can sit on the grass, in a park, just to read a book and benefit from the sun.

PHILOSOPHY

Take it easy. Things always can be goodly done if we take the time they need, whatever else it costs. "Slow down, watch details" (another CS member)
Tant que tout le monde s'y retrouve - approximately : you can do anything, as long as everyone concerned finds something pleasant in it

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

To me, the best way to discover the world is by hitch hiking and couch surfing. Or other stuff in the same way.
My heart is my home. When I travel, I want to meet people, as a human being all important to me is connecting with local traditions, way of life, all living happenings.
Enjoying life :)
