Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Hosting, surfing... I'm up for anything!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Surfed in Morocco and Germany during summer 2012 - best encounters ever... looking forward to do it again.I had the pleasure to host a nice Seattle girl in October 2011 as my first hosting experience. Then a polish couple, a chinese couple and a german biker in 2013 - great encounters !
Interests
Landscape, architecture, urban spaces... it's a habit that comes from the job! It also includes natural places. I just love to wander around, for the sole pleasure of discovering places... hiking with my own two feet, paragliding when I can size an opportunity. Former languages student, I'm quite into languages even if I'm not mastering most of those I studied ! Design, art and music hold a good place in my heart as well. And dancing ! Classic and contemporary so far, but I'm interested in all the other styles. I've played didgeridoo on and off for a few years now. Tried paragliding, but those hills around my home are way too smooth to accomodate with such a hobbie - but definitely willing to learn how to fly in the coming years !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
After two months spent in North Carolina, I found myself with 4 days left til I had to fly back home. I decided to leave for NYC on the spot, although I had nowhere to stay... Eventually I was helped on the first couple nights by some friends of mine I already knew, and the second couple I was host at a friend of a friend! That's what they call Southern hospitality, I'll never forget it. Four amazing days in the city of skyscrapers, walking all day and all night to make the best out of it.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach French and I have a thing for plants... especially carnivorous plants. I love sharing all kinds of tips related to daily life, be it regarding cooking, building, gardening...!
As for learning... well, the best word to suit my desire is : everything !
