In 2015-17: we created a tech startup, Charp.co, with my 2 best friends. Beginning of 2017, we sold it because it was none-sense for us to make money with not a real purpose in life. Xavier and I began our next life: building an ecovillage and a community life

In 2017-18: visiting intentional communities/ecovillages around the world with my friends to find inspiration, develop new skills and experience the challenges of living together before starting my own project in Septembre 2018!!

August 2018: with Xavier and Clémence, we organised "Le Chemin des Possibles", a 500km walking trip, during 3 weeks. 50 different people, from 3 to 74 years-old, came and walked with us. We met these people during our one-year trip. An unbelievable experience that we are organising again for 2019.

September 2018 - January 2019: living temporary in an ecovillage we visited one and half year ago: Le Hameau des Buis, in Ardèche (which is in my opinion the most beautiful, touching and authentic land I've ever known. I felt in love with Ardèche). We live there because we are working hard making our own ecovillage "L'Espace des Possibles", not far from Vallon Pont d'Arc (Ardèche too). We are so surprised on how fast and how numerous people our following, helping, and giving time for this project! Come to visit us.

January 2019 - now : managing Hameaux Legers (www.hameaux-legers.org) and living such a grat collective adventure ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I don't like hotels, "sightseeing" the occidental way, preparing too much my trips. I love to meet people, share funny stories, teach and learn, do unexpected things, give and receive.

I'm always respectful and clean and expect my hosts and invitees to be the same.

Because it's all about giving, without waiting for anything in return.

I couchsurfed in Israel, Armenia, Lebanon, the US.
I hosted when I had my big appartement in Paris (2 Israeli couples, and 1 Russian couple)
