CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life, meet with different people and culture, TRAVEL through discovery and learning

ABOUT ME

I am an easy going person, I enjoy (nice) people and life very much (which include good food n good parties). I really enjoy sharing with people after the ice being broken which means if people are themselves willing to share (experiences, stories, etc.). My really important care in life is to raise my spirit by being surrounded by newness, meeting different cultures, different people and to learn as much things as possible through a maximum of experiences: life is short

PHILOSOPHY

my philosophy changes a lot these days, so here is it today:
to find good things in life, anytime,
to educate my brain more everyday,
to have fun and not to let bad stuffs poisoning my existence,
to help, enjoy, be nice , be part of, act for/react against,work for open-mindness,
to continue to look for nice things to do with nice people,
and to continue rebelling against unfairness, routine and irony, and also against assholes;p

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hosted already a lot of people through other bias than couchsurfing in the past, being an entertaining host....people said!
I can be a nice host/guest, generous and eager to show you as much as possible! Now, I have hosted for dinner/drinks some coushsurfers at my place in NYC and the people have been really cool guests. So let us meet up for a coffee or a drink first ...and if we get along why not hosting you for giving a little help to newcomers!
of course people we already know through couchsurf and/or other biais are drectly invited to stay with us!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I consider it as an exchange (because people provide you with help through a place to stay the feedback is expected to be even, the guest is respectful, the place is not a free hotel and this guest is basically on the same page as the host about the exchange dimension). Then it can definitly be a good way to some international frenship! I surfed a few couches on my travellings in Morocco, Spain and France last year and that was really amazing, being a respectful guest I managed to meet with the coolest people.Thank YOU then to Mostapha and Ali, Cato y Victoria, Mario, and Camille dit "Rex" !

Interests

I ENJOY TEACHING LANGUAGES (both English and French) and especially abroad; I am interested in all kinds of different cultures as well as sharing what I know from my own, my cooking (I LOVE COOKING AND EATINGA LOT but good food, not crap) the books I read, and taking people to places I like in my country!And to discover as well as I do not know France entirely. I also enjoy SOME medias a lot such as MUSIC from jazz to rock (I've been playing piano for 15 years)of all kinds and alternative, why not subversive movies.
