About Me

ABOUT ME

I would say I'm : talkative, cheerful, curious, clumsy and optimistic

I love to walk, dance, and party. I love philosophy, nature and music. I like to go out of my comfort zone, learn about myself, from others and about the world/other countries.

I want to share, go back to the basic of life, and see life from others point of view.

PHILOSOPHY

"Carpe Diem", "seeing the glass as half full", "It is better to feel remorse than to regret"

"To laugh often and much, [...] to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others, to leave the world a bit better, [...] to know that one life has breathed easier because you lived here : this is to have succeeded" Ralph Waldo Emerson

CURRENT MISSION

I finished in December 2018 a hike/pilgrimage of 1620 km through France and Spain. Then I hitchhiked in Europe from home (Paris) to see my friends and meet new people all the way to Norway !
Now I'm working in a middle school and a high school, spreading environmental awareness to children.

I'm ready to make my own tracks !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This is increadible way of traveling : you share your flat, your stories, your way of thinking, your culture. You discover, you learn, you visit.
It's an exchange from people who see life and journey as I do.

I think people on Couchsurfing are open minded, curious, and they want to be in immersion to try to understand people, countries, and to feel, to live, for a moment, as locals.

I think it's rewarding to travel that way and to meet locals.

Interests

Meeting new people (any), learning new things (way too curious), laughing (a lot), dancing (batchata, salsa), listening music (acourstic live music), going out (from small to crazy parties), talking (travels, philosophy, culture, purpose in life, people dreams/wishes, human behaviours alternatives...), walking for hours (city/nature walks), doing workaway/helpexchange, travelling and live for a purpose....

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It's a tricky question !
I believe it depends on how you do things and see life. The tiny things I've done are amazing as much as big ones.

But, if I had to choose one it would be making my dreams come true :

- From October to December 2018 : hiking 1 620 km from France to Spain (St James / Santiago de Compostela pilgrimage)

- Hitchhiking alone around Europe from home to Norway in 2019

- August 2016 : traveling alone one month in Thailand

- Life time project : being a better version of myself everyday

Dreams are made to become true !
