About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Transform our little bungalow in a house where the dreams come true

ABOUT ME

Petite fille, j'ai grandi dans une maison qui était assise sur une petite colline, entourée de forêt. De cette enfance, j'ai gardé une tempérament porté vers l'imaginaire et la contemplation. J'aime le bruit du vent dans les feuilles d'arbre. J'aime ne pas savoir où je suis et retrouver mon chemin. Je suis parfois paresseuse le matin, parce que le soir, j'ai tendance à être très bavarde. Pour contrebalancer, je me suis trouvée un vrai coq de petit ami! Donc, on dort quelque part entre tôt et tard, selon l'inspiration du moment.

Quoiqu'il en soit, quand le temps nous le permet, ils nous fait toujours plaisir de recevoir des amis, en toute simplicité.

*****************************************************

When I was a little girl, I lived in a country house surrounded by nature. From this childhood, I retained a contemplative character and a love for forests. I indeed like the sound of the wind in the trees leaves and the music of the streams. I also like to be lonely in a place I don’t know and find my way. I can be a bit lazy in the morning for I like to enjoy long evening chats, which means that I like to sleep pretty late. To make a balance in my life, my boyfriend is exactly the opposite! However, if time allows me, I am always glad to host a friend and make him feel at home.

PHILOSOPHY

I think life is full of promises for those who have imagination and dare to dream. And that noting is impossible for the ones that have the courage to take action to realize their dreams.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would like to meet poeple that share dreams and hopes to make our world a better place.

Interests

Pretty soon in my teenage , I got involved in the environmentalist movement. Also very sensitive about social justice, I finally decided that the better form of activism I could do is to help create cooperatives. So, we could take care of our need, in respect for what is around us.

When I am not working over a project or another, I like to learn about everything related to arts and literature. I also very much like camping or spend a day on a cycling road.

Music, Movies, and Books

Most part of time, our home is filed by music from all around the world (Latino Americana, celtic, reggae) and I have got a strong affection for the music of Quebec (Polémil Bazard, Mes Aïeux, Richard Desjardins, Jean Leloup, Corcoran, ect.) I also like folk music of the seventies, or classical music and I realy like Leonard Cohen and the french signer and composer Anne Sylvestre.

Teach, Learn, Share

Me and my boyfriend are realy interested about local development. We would be glad to share about commmunity organisation. My work is to develop cooperatives. So, if you have any collective buisness plan in mind, (for exemple, want to build a student housing coop) I can give you some hint. Practicaly, we can share our knowlege about local and environmental cooking. We are open to learn lots of things from lot of people!
