CURRENT MISSION

Live, dream, enjoy!

ABOUT ME

French but originating mostly from parts of Northern Europe (you wouldn't guess that!), I come from Brittany. I am really happy and proud to bear and stand for several cultures - they are all different and so complementary!
I think that life can be very tough - but also full of surprises. We have to make the best of it - and to laugh at difficulties. I do have sometimes the feeling that I lived several lives in only one lifetime - full of adventures!
I am someone very curious of the world and its richness. I am told to be funny and very chatty. The thing that makes me a real French is that I am a moaner - it helps throwing away negative waves, right? ;-)))
I am also a little bit crazy-minded, full of energy (maybe too much sometimes haha) and... Meet me and get your own opinion!

PHILOSOPHY

A lot of various influences, but I can't say that I am definitely attached to some way of thinking. I think we can share our points of views, even if we do not think the same thing. I try to sort out the best from every moment of life and to keep smiling even when it rains. That's why I never forget my umbrella!
Considering my own experiences, I can tell I am more kind to Buddhism and Indian philosphies, as well as old Celtic principles, next to Nature and mankind.
I hope my path will cross yours!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I was introduced to Couch Surfing by my dear friend Elodie, and firstly had little time to get seriously involved. Then, following my arrival at the French-German-Belgium-Luxembourg borders, I decided to get involved in the Luxembourg CS community, by coming to the events or organising some myself. I am delighted to host people too.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I firstly intended to join the CS community to meet foreigners and host people from various horizons (including France!). Finally, as I moved, I discovered new communities. I had great times thanks to Couch Surfing, especially in Luxembourg, where the community here helped knowing new things and the "Luxembourg way of life". I love to share and exchange ideas and points of views, that's why I really like the CS project. Besides, I hope I will be anew able to travel and meet some new CSers from here and everywhere :-) !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There are too many, can't describe them all... Ask me, I would unroll the book (or not, if you want to stay awake lol). !! Talking with others made me understand that my life was like an adventure book... I think I should really write it! OK, just one thing that really impressed me : sailing on a boat in Canada and seeing a huge blue whale swimming along the boat and staring at us. This exceptional moment will be carved in my memory for ever.
I guess I'll have so many more incredible and amazing things to see and live. Let's have this moment together!

Teach, Learn, Share

I think anything can be shared. "The more I advance in knowledge, the more I see I don't know nothing". I love this sentence as I find it so true. We all have to learn from others. Every experience can be useful to others. The only truly-important thing to me is to share my cultures, while sharing my experience(s) as a Breton French, in France and abroad. No cliché, no typical French : don't count on me to share my love of cheese!
