CURRENT MISSION

Move to the DR Congo next year

ABOUT ME

I live in Oregon and I really enjoy the outdoorsy environment. I'd love to hike and camp every weekend but people dedicate a lot of time to school work to much in my mind :)! I love the Pacific Northwest and I'm looking for more opportunities to explore this region before I leave this part of the world.

I decided to live in the US for a couple of years after I finished my undergrad in France. I lived in Boston for a couple of months and moved to Eugene, Oregon. I am currently working at a facility that offers transitional housing and reintegration programs for ex-offenders. I enjoy working in this field and hope to do the same kind of projects in Central Africa next year. I am a passionate person and a life-lover.

PHILOSOPHY

Tao of the Pooh --
"While Eeyore frets ...

... and Rabbit calculates
... and Owl pontificates
...Pooh just is.”

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My best friend is a big couch surfing fan. She traveled in the US and in Canada and met more people through couch surfing than she would have in a whole year at home!

My father is also into couch surfing. He lives near Paris and he hosts people almost every week.

I travel a lot by myself but hate staying at hostels.
The best part about traveling in my mind is to meet people and learn from them!

Música, películas y libros

I grew up listening to classical music as well as other bands - grandaddy, maria mckee, tom waits, the shins... I love finding out about a new artist through a random playlist. Music from Central Africa are among my top musical interests right now. I recently saw the Tallest Man on Earth and the Sea and Cake in live concert. Great shows.
