About Me

Traveling to give a new vigor to the mind, to change your perception of the world, to evolve and get richer.
"One's destination is never a place, but always a new way of seeing thing"". Henri Miller.

I have traveled since my childhood and I catched the traveling bug. Thus, I love discovering new things, new people as well as my knowledge of human and cultural interactions.

I have started doing Couchsurfing when I took a year off. I traveled several months in Japan and South Korea to have a big picture of how to heal by nutrition. I also took a training in Kerala (India) to understand the principles of Ayurveda (Indian old holistic medicine) and did woofing in Hawaii to get to know permaculture.

One of the best decision of my life! Great adventures, Great People, amazing souvenirs.

I'm really interested in environmental issues, renewable energies and food matters which are related. My curiosity is endless and I can spend hours reading and listening about every subject (any peculiar hobbies nurture my intellect) .

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Discovering a country without discovering its people make no sense for me.

I've been so lucky when I did my first couchsurfing in Japan that I keep doing it anywhere I travel. I have met wonderful and beautiful people and some have become wonderful friends.

EXAMPLES of what I did with my last couchsurfers :

Traveling, Cooking, Visiting museums, Hiking, Snorkeling, Enjoying a drink, Teaching Yoga, Nutrition, Going to the Japanese hot baths., Costuming, Talking long hours about life, politics, climate change, travels etc.

Every Couchsurfing I have done is still in my mind, as a beautiful souvenir.

Teach, Learn, Share

All experiences, point of views, cultural knowledges and cooking recipes are welcomed ;).

Yoga (warning : I am not flexible neither coordinated)

What I Can Share with Hosts

From a (fun/deep/philosophical/green) talk to a nice meal, a visit or a walk around!

Being keen on healthy food, foreign cuisine and nutrition it will be a pleasure to cook :).

I like sharing what I learned, from art to how to lower our carbon footprint and yoga (even if I have no flexibility and coordination...).
