About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live my life NOW, rather than save some fun for later (there might not be any later)

ABOUT ME

I've always wanted to travel the world, see other cultures, other sunsets, but always waited for the right time or the right people to travel with. Time has gone by and I have not really traved the world that much... until June 2010. I then took my life in charge. I no longer wait, I act. We only have 1 life to live (at least, those of us who are not cats) and I fully live it !
I live the present moment and see the extraordinary in the ordinary.
Carpe diem !

PHILOSOPHY

Here and now

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I meet with other CSs when I travel the world, or when they visit Montreal. I host back everybody who hosted me when they visit Montreal.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In a word : great.
People into CS are passionate and generous.
I've always met great people each time that I've posted an invitation to gather on a group billboard... try it too !

Interests

I have interest in everything different and out of ordinary.

  • cats
  • performing arts
  • traveling
  • music
  • classical music

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy watching movies that have a surprising ending.I enjoy listening to all types of music. I recently opened myself to opera, I'm quite surprised. So far, so good.These days, I read Guillaume Musso, Marc Levy, Paulo Coelho. I like to read on various topics. I also enjoy reading biographies, especially of inspiring women.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once was in a cage with tigers and panthers! a life time memory!
Athens, July 2011: I attended to a classical music performance at the Odeon of Herodes Attica on the Acropolis, facing the Parthenon, on a full moon night... magical...
There are so many things that amaze me, the bad thing is that memory fails me...

Teach, Learn, Share

I would be honored to teach, but I feel I have everything to learn still. I can definitely share, which in fact I do spontaneously - and continuously they say ;-)
