About Me

CURRENT MISSION
- Find balance between all my past lifes and the next-ones. Keep my humour in harsh situations. Remember to not step out from the society but in the same time remain able to broke the routine. Stop giving myself too many missions.

ABOUT ME
- It's me with my boy friend Aurèle on the picture.
I think I am an easy going person, passionate, not enough organized and curious about almost everything.
I'm living in Paris since 2016. Before I stayed 5 years in Montréal, QC. And before, in order : Paris, Bournemouth (UK), Hong Kong, Paris, Almaty (Kazakhstan) - I hope I'll keep changing :)

- I'm a feminist and an optimist (both in a diplomatic way).
I like surprises, change, challenges (even I'm scared of) different cultures and doing projects with other people. I'm interested in design, anthropology (and human sciences in general), art, sports (climbing, boxe, yoga mainly), drawing, photography, watching movies, shows, mangas, comics, video games, technology, transhumanism, travels, road trips, surf, snowboarding, reading, cognitive sciences, natural stuff, self-sufficiency...

PHILOSOPHY
- Keep learning and be amazed by the ordinary.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
- When I can, I offer my time, my help or a bed / a couch. I'm not here to juge and I am respectful of others (I expect the same in the other way).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
- I'm coming back to couchsurfing after not using it for 7 years... Reason ? I was not travelling for vacations but more to come back to my family or for business or to live in another countries. I had only great experiences and it allowed me to travel in Europe mostly.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to meet different kind of people and discover the hidden part of cities. CS offers a different approach of traveling, more philanthropic.
