CURRENT MISSION

Making the best of my last 3 weeks in NZ !

ABOUT ME

Open mind, simple and positive, quiet but not that much when I feel like partying, curious about -hum- life!! I'm pretty respectful of others, independent, mostly a listener than a talker. I like authentic people, and I try to be so myself. I consider every new experience as a chance to learn something useful, try to get the most I can from life!

PHILOSOPHY

I find those words from Steve Jobs pretty inspiring: "Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart. "Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish." "
That's what I'm trying to do: fight my fears, keep myself busy, learn the more I can, and smile!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've heard about CouchSurfing from friends of mine, who all had great experiences. I liked the idea of give and give back, sharing community... meeting local kiwis, and discovering a city through them!!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm still a Green! So far, I couchsurfed only in NZ, had my first experience in Chch, and totally love it! Looking forward to offer my own couch in Quebec City as soon as I got back!!

Living organisms!
I'm into organic movement and sustainable living, without being a radical...
