About Me

I have been living a nomadic life for thirteen years now which means I have not had a place of my own for that period. Still not in the mood for settling down. Most of the time, I am volunteering, backpacking or visiting friends. Travelling is my whole life and I try to do it in a responsible way.
I like to capture moments with photography and sketching. I also write about my experiences.

I am obsessed with birds. Every place I visit, I discover it through birding. I am still able to enjoy awesome landscapes and typical architecture, don't worry ;) I am a very sensitive person, that's what defines be the best. I love having a nice chat but I am not too much into small talk so I like silence to be able to exist in a relationship. I am vegetarian (veggie food is amazing !) and a very decent cook.

Most of the time I'll be using CS either with my boyfriend Thomas (awesomely nice guy, physics teacher) or my best friend Marion (met on a chimpanzee research project in Côte d'Ivoire and backpacking pal since then). I do not like travelling on my own as what I am living moves me a lot more if shared.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I went to Finland on april 2010 with a friend and he made me discover the couchsurfing concept so we have been able to visit Helsinki from an inner view ! That was so incredible I decided to join the CS community and had some experience of my own since then.

Interests

Birdwatching is my top interest. But I am also into yoga/meditation/qi gong/personal development to try and be a better person. I am also creating stuff (sewing, crocheting) and I am just beginning at watercoloring but enjoy it a lot.
And well, also I want to go EVERYWHERE.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite music is the depressing one :)

I like sci-fi and fantasy the best, in movies and books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've overwintered in the French Southern Lands. We were just 23 people on an island without connection with the rest of the world during 13 months.

Also, I went to Senegal by bus...

What I Can Share with Hosts

I like to share about my volunteering experience (been a volunteer for 13 years now) working for atmospheric/climatic studies, chimpanzees rehabilitation, arctic foxes studies, bird migration surveys, seal colonies protection, sled dogs project, anarchist blast furnace, sea turtles conservation and other cool stuff.

I can cook also !
