CURRENT MISSION

Hmm see the world, meet new people and write lousy mission statements ;-)

ABOUT ME

As a French/Vietnamese/Somalian mix, I've inherited the positive and negative aspects of my backgrounds (yes, there ARE some positive French traits :P ): inherent anti-Bushness and great stubborness.

Besides for that, I'm a talkative, open-minded, curious, music-loving girl and I'm the worst procrastinator ever ;-) Always believing in the good side in people, messy, nice...

I like nature a lot, hiking and stuff... but I'm always up for a good night out!

PHILOSOPHY

Socrates said that the unexamined life is not worth living, I would add that the unexamined world is not worth living in either.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Not couchsurfed yet but I've met a few couchsurfers so far, great folks!

Interests

I've always been bathing in a mix of cultures, got that travelling bug a few years ago and it's still bugging me!

I love mountains, trekking, hiking... Other than that, I enjoy discovering new places, reading, dancing, music, art museums, meeting people from all over the place, international politics/development issues, going out, the list is so long!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
