Overview
About Me
MY PERSONALITY:
I am someone sociable, open-minded and talkative. Easy going and not shy. I think issues are often created from a lack of communication. So I am not afraid to express what trouble me.
I am really curious, and enthusiastic about everything and especially people. Life is a fascinating mystery, we are all so alike and yet so different ! That's why I like to talk to very different kind of people; question and learn from them . I am trying my best to rise my own awareness of the world we live in. So if we do meet, challenge me, teach me things !
HABITS:
Non-smoker, not a binge drinker, flexitarian, can eat any type of food. Bike lover, subway hater.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
When I am travelling what I care about is meeting people, sharing with people. The destination on itself isn't that important. Therefore I like to hitchhike and to couchsurf .
I want to give back what was once given to me. At the moment I stop travelling I want to host surfers ! I would love to spend time with my guests by showing/guiding them around. To see people being amazed by the thing I take for granted would be a real joy.
Interests
I really like talking to a lot of different people . Listening to people's life and learning from it is really what thrills me. I love having long discussions about the world we live in.
My hobbies are : Reading books, moutain climbing, biking, trailing, Former Gamer. Gourmet Hunter, music lover and of course drinking a good glass of wine with friends.
Before my forties I must meditate everyday, learn how to properly dance (and not just shake my body), learn how to play the saxo, go for a world tour climbing volcanos, have more nature in my life, cycle through Madagascar, work with refugees.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Climbing the Merapi, a 3000m high and active volcano, in Indonesia when I was 10 with my father was one of them.
Travelling with 9 of my friends in Europe hitch hiking and "couch surfing " for 10 days without money is another one.
Working 9months in Manila with street Children was mind blowing too.
Seeing whale sharks an snorkeling in a school of sardine was neat.
