About Me

CURRENT MISSION

trying to find what it is

ABOUT ME

Well ... I've seen a lot of "I'm the coolest"-type of personn here and I must admit I can't do that ! I'm just a regular girl, cool enough to join the couchsurfing community but not cool enough to write down a good description about herself !!

I think I'm open-minded and out-going, even when I disagree I'm not judging, I want to see/know everything, always !

I love what I do, my friends, my city and my life. But I have lived in Lille for nearly three years now (personnal record !!) and I'm the kind of girl who's always moving in somewhere or moving out, depending on your philosophy, but as I am an optimistic I like to think that whenever you leave a place, you just pack the good things and take them with you wherever you go !

EDIT: I still love Lille and everything, but I chose to move on to the next destination, which is Clermont-Ferrand! And until now, it's pretty awesome!

PHILOSOPHY

How I live my life? Well mostly one day at the time, trying to find the positive in everything.

"May the strength be given to me to bear what can't be changed
The courage to change what can be
But also the wisdom to tell them apart"
(some might know it as the serenity prayer, but it's actually pretty much Marc-Aurèle's quote and it is a sentence I try to keep in mind every step I take)
