About Me

CURRENT MISSION

learn to take time off

ABOUT ME

I speak for a living, and am not necessarily all that talkative in real life, except with friends and a glass of wine. I am naturally reserved and often need my space and quiet, to focus again or progress on some projects... I am also naturally happy (except when I am tired or hungry!)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I feel quite new still in the community, have yet to participate in Roman activities and am amazed of the quantity of ideas people have to do things together! Hopefully I'll join some of them soon.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have never surfed, but hosted many times. I have had the CS spirit ever since my childhood, my doors tend to be always open for my friends, my friends' friends...

I like the idea that I can be stranded anywhere in the world, and still get to meet someone like-minded!

Interests

If you saw my house, you'd know: books, books and more books! But also: walking, nordic walking, trekking, swimming, going to the sea or the country or the mountain (even though I always live in big cities), movies (I don't have a TV by choice) and theater (I sometimes act, too). Cooking for other people. Learning to cook something from everywhere I go. I would love to start sailing and horse back riding again!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to the North Pole. Not only that, but I actually stayed at the North Pole, big difference with all other expeditions! We already had the CS spirit: extra food and drinks to share with any other epedition showing up there!
