About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See the world with a pack on my back.

ABOUT ME

The secret to get a good impression of who I really am consists first in inclining your head about 45° down the horizon. Then, if you can trace a small person in your 180° human field of view, you're on the good way. If this person has a red hat, continue. I'm at least not a garden dwarf.

(No, no, keep looking!)

AH! THERE YOU GO. Small, brunette, kinf of crazy, kind of serious, kind of excentric, kind of artistic.

I'm a simple and open-minded girl who decided to let her passion for travelling come to reality instead of keeping dreaming of it, a art lover who can easily turn two incoherent words into a stupid joke and a terrible singer who can't resist to a chocolate bar.

PHILOSOPHY

Please mark of an ( X ) the things you officially learned about life :

( X ) Make your decisions for yourself and not for others.

( X ) Tiramisu IS NOT Japanese.

( X ) There is way too much air in the lips of way too much old --and less old-- women.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My home is yours, if you want to discover the secret of surviving in winter colds and the taste of REAL maple syrup, that will be my pleasure to include you in my Canadian life and share my (-35°) experiences.

Because that is for me what CS is all about ; meeting each other to learn, learn and learn in a unique way you absolutely can't get from a cheap hostel room!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I first started to Couchsurf in September 2008, then backpacking everywhere for a year in Europe with my super fellow nomad Laurence Therrien (See her CS profile!).

Unforgettable. All because of Couchsurfing.

France, Italy, Greece, Serbia, Hungary, Czech Republic, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, UK, Ireland.

Romain, Gianlucca, Susanna, Rafaello, Julie, Matteo, Michele, Konstantinos, Marko, Petar, Felix, Jurav, Michel, Phillip, Maximilian, Martine, Victor, Ray, Kyle, Ian, Mike, Johnny, Nyle, Frédéric and many others.

All those generous hosts that welcomed us in their lives for a few days and really transfered me their passion for Couchsurfing.

I've never learned that many things in such a short lap of time. As a backpacker,--now set for a few years of studies-- Couchsurfing is part of my world, CS is a way of being.

Interests

As all the other advertising folks, I'm a caffeine addict.

I would eat tiramisu until the end of times BECAUSE there is coffee in it.

I don't like the fact that coffee is giving yellow teeth. (Mines are OK!)

I'm all about history and politics.

I hate injustice and Mariah Carey.

As all the other advertising folks, I'm a Mac.

Music, Movies, and Books

I know, I know.
I never got over the 90's.
I still know all Backstreet Boys songs by heart and Titanic script in three different languages.

UNDER THAT...

Music : Coldplay when I'm sad, Coldplay when I'm happy.
Swedish House Mafia when I want to dance in my
kitchen. The Beatles when I feel for classics.
And all those jazzy bands that could not even
name when I want to simulate a hotel lounge in
my living room (!).

Movies : (After the one and only Titanic), Any feel- good movie that comes with popcorn and that makes you forget for about an hour and a half that love scenes under stars and moonlight happen.....rarely. / Historical documentaries and movies.
