CURRENT MISSION

Become a happy grown up person, making good choices for my happiness !

ABOUT ME

I'm a 27years old human rights lawyer specialized in freedom of expression and free press.

Currently travelling in Russia by the transsiberian, I will be in Ulan Bator from the 1st July to the 31th August for an internship in Amnesty International.

I like travelling, music (playing piano & leaning guitar for 2 years, but it s going slowly, I'm lazy! If each couchsurfer could learn my at least one tune, that would be perfect :D ), meet people, meet cats, eat, eat weird things, drink fresh juices and strong alcohols.. Also like healthy things like laying the beach, running, swimming, rockclimbing... Eat pancakes for breakfast, blablabla.

I would say I'm a "fake" brave traveller, because I use to travel alone BUT I'm only doing this with the goal of meeting more people. I've made the experience of traveling in group of 2 or 3 and met less people than alone.

Traveling is part of my education and it counts as much as any internship.(that's what I'm saying to my Master's degree director ;)) I'm looking for new things to learn, new habits to discover, new space for my mind to prowl, and new axis of reflexion.

PHILOSOPHY

I 've just created a signature for my bills. Finding a personal philosophy is next on my "to become an adult's list". I guess I don't know myself enough to find one for the moment.

If you meet in Russia, Mongolia or else where, don't hesitate to tell me what type of leitmotiv could match with me. It will help me ! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity to host or surf yet, because I'm staying in the cities only 2 or 3 months at maximum, and always with roomates. It's hard to arrive in a place for 2 months, establish a relationship with your new roomates and welcome couchsurfers at the mean time. When my life will be more stable, I'll be for sure welcoming couch surfers.. Can't say yet where it will be, but this is gonna happen, for sure !!

I am here because I like knowing a bit of the culture, people, and habits of the countries I travel to. So rather than going in hostels and spending money, I' rather spend money on gifts or cooking meals for our hosts, and do the same of course if anyone wants to spend time at my place.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had the pleasure to met a lot of people in Recife thanks to the group's conversation in a city, and participate to the organisation of some events in Recife (mainly that kind of event : "let's meet there and have some caipirinhas", it wasn't so hard to plan ;) )

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Trekking in the mongolian steppe (and getting lost. ..)

This is one of the most beautiful things I've seen, it was peaceful.

A festival with all my friends, only 3 days of non disturbed happinness, enjoying each second under the sun, music, fresh caipirinha and food.

Others amazing things ?Wow, hard question, thank you, now I feel like I ve never do amazing things in my life ( for sure they are but you will discover them if we meet one day ! ):)
