CURRENT MISSION

Find a Volunteer International Experience (VIE) in the US!

ABOUT ME

Easy going French into adventures!

I'm a French business international student, currently working on my thesis in La Rochelle...
I will graduate in June 2011 and planning then hopefully to go to the US to work with Airbus as a VIE, or go back to China to learn some more of Chinese at the Beijing Cultural and Language Uni.
Have to get back to France by the end of January 2011 for at least four months to finish my studies and the plan is then to find a job and get back to Vancouver!! Yihaaa!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've done a little of surfing in Beijing and loved it! Then hosted a couple of couchsurfers at my place in Xi'an...
And when I got to Vancouver stayed at Scott's for two weeks and by chance, we eventually ended up roommates!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I directly flew from China to Vancouver and then needed a place to stay for a few days, time for me to find an accommodation. Unfortunately - or fortunately! - it took much more time than expected and I ended up staying about 2 weeks at my couchsurfer's...
I guess I can say Scott and I got pretty well along with each other, he introduced me to Van way of life, his roomies and to a bunch of good pals of him, who are now good friends of mine.

When one month - and a terrible shared apartment experienced - later I started looking for another shared house I found by chance an add for a room I thought not far from Scott's. I didn't know I was actually about to visit the place I've been staying at two weeks, one month before...

Was just sooo happy when I finally figured out I was going to live at my ex-couchsurfer shared house!
Loved this house and its people, and will see them on next summer, when it gets a bit warmer in Van. :)

Interests

Skiing, hiking, jet skiing, biking, climbing, sailing, snorkeling, swimming, riding, camping...

But also going up to the mountains for the weekend, having good times up there, going for a hike or a swim in a lake one day and jet skiing the day after, chilling out with friends at night with a good diner - ideally BBQ! - and red wine...

And above all, pretty much all that goes with travelling. In one word: adventures!!
