I'm Camille, 30 years.
I am french (from Lyon)

I am optician since 8 years now... 3 years of working in France and 2 years in canada and 3 more years in France. I'm not a doctor I just sell and reapers glasses. We adjust contact lenses too. I like my work but I know that I will not do this all my life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on the poursuit of discovery !

I'm a big dreamer. I'm passionate about cinema and cinema help me to escape to the reality.

You have to ask where is this all coming from?

Well... I saw a lot of movies when I was young, about road trips, and I decided that one day, that will be me, with my wonderful Westfalia, discovering nationals parcs, cities, crazy landscape etc...

Finally, 30 years later (hum... maybe only 15 years later) my dream came true.
Thanks to all my CS hosts. It was possible thanks to you !

I want to live like you. Not like a tourist : like a local habitant. I like meet people, I'm really open minded. I'm sure we could exchange a lot of things and experiences.

Interests

Fitness. I'm not a big athlete but I practice zumba, tae boxe and yoga 3 or 4 time per week. In summer I like run. But here, in Québec city, there is no summer... joking ! (or not)

Trips. I am an adventuress.

Painting. I'm not really good but who cares ? Art is subjective !

Nailarts. I change color of my nail very often. It may seems superficial to you but I'm not !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- I visited Australia in a van for almost 1 month it was amazing !
- Crossed Canada and USA in 95 days with my little car : 32000 km/19800 miles
- I hiked KILIMANDJARO in 5 days (then 2 days more to go down) during the rainy season. Omg, you don't know but 5 895 m it's very high... But I did it !!

I don't think I have done more crazy things in my life... maybe it will be crazy for you if I share it but not for me so... Let's talk !

Teach, Learn, Share

Perhaps you know Interpals website ?
It's a place where people of the world can exchange with others.
I'm on this website for 7 months (maybe more by the time you read my profile) and it's very important to be assiduous, and not to pass up a good friendship !

I like help people with French language.
And I'm happy when people help me to learn English (sometimes Spanish).

I'm always kind of shy and embarrassed when I speak English because of my terrible accent. But with time I work on and i become more confident. Or not.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm not wild.

I am wild but not in the bad way !! I can speak with everybody about anything. Try me !

I think everybody has to learn of someone else. Maybe I could change your life ! (without pretention)
