About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life and make life a bit sweeter for others!

ABOUT ME

I love travelling, discovering and hosting. I love people! And the sunshine! And dancing. And eating. I looooove eating...

PHILOSOPHY

Many........

First: it sounds corny, but it's true: follow your heart and you'll find happinness.

"Le vrai bonheur ne dépend d'aucun être, d'aucun objet extérieur, il ne dépend que de nous-mêmes."

"Life is a journey, not a destination."

Love and respect should be everybody's basic values...

"Only when the last tree has died, the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught, will we realize that money is not edible."

Travaille comme si tu n'avais pas besoin d'argent.

Aime comme si personne ne t'avait jamais fait souffrir.

"Danse comme si personne ne te regardait.

Chante comme si personne ne t'écoutait.

Vis comme si le paradis était sur terre."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love hosting. I like to have my guests love my city and feel welcome. As a guest I find I participate too, bringing a bit of me and my culture to my hosts.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far, hosting and mostly surfing has been amazing. I've been so blessed with the people and homes I met and stayed at! It's crazy... Beautiful people are everywhere! I've discovered, discussed, learned, sung, swam, laughed and lived so much with couchsurfing!

Interests

Dancing (swing, latin, but mostly blues and fusion), music, good food, spirituality, hanging out and enjoying the sun, talking and talking and talking!! I'll share, listen, discuss, debate and learn through the whole thing. I love learning languages since it allows me to have access to entire cultures!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love any music that has soul! Blues, gypsy... rock, R&B, Lhasa, James Brown! :-)

I'll watch movies that either entertain or teach you something. My latest favorite movie is "A Single Man". I haven't watched a movie in over a year though...

Books: 3rd Jesus / Eat, Pray, Love (of course), etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm probably the luckiest girl in the World... I've been surrounded by people who love me all my life! That's pretty amazing...

Being woken up at 5:00am on the roof of a hostel in Sousa by the 4 mosques that surrounded me...

Seeing, hearing and feeling the Tikal jungle waking up at 5:00am with sunrise, sitting on an ancient pyramid with my friend.

Playing with sea lions in the Mar de Cortés, while scooba diving.

Bungee jumping, sky diving, red river rafting.

Reeeeeeeeally connecting with another dancer or with musicians. That is absolutely phenomenal!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a lot to learn and to share. Only when I connect with an individual will we know what we can learn from eachother...

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Guinea, Italy, Lebanon, Netherlands, Peru, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In

Canada, Guatemala, Mexico, Syrian Arab Republic, Tunisia
