About Me

CURRENT MISSION

It is better to travel 1000 miles than read 1000 books

ABOUT ME

I resigned from my job; I left my work, my flat, my chipmunk Twix, my friends, to discover the world, travelling on my own. I want to learn about differents kinds of life...I wanna feel free...

Shy by nature, I think I have capacity for adaptation

How I travel? CS and hitch hiking...lot of adventures in a day!

PHILOSOPHY

be honest be humbleputting things into perspectivefeel lucky each day of what life give me

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I'll have a flat I could share, I would be happy to host people, specially in emergency cases, because I now know what it is...

When I meet people, I ask them if they are on CS; if it's not the case, I do advertisement :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It's always an amazing experience...Paradoxically it's rather more difficult to find someone to host you in bigs cities...

Interests

I love to cook (it's my former job), especially chocolate cake; you could say I'm a kind of flexible vegetarian who enjoy cooking healthy food :) My chipmunk, in freedom in the flat !Playing poker with my friendsSpending the night playing chess Nature lover, I enjoy hiking and biking (unfortunately, I've got no sense of direction)

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a keen reader, I read lot of things...perhaps my favorite author is Stephen King...I love The Simpson, South Park, Wallace&Gromit, Scrubs, Groland ;) I have a slight preference for old movies, and the film director I like the best is Hitchcock.I listen to all kinds of music: electronic, pop-rock, classical music, but I hate jazz ! Chew Lips, Tricky, Kasabian are definitely my favorite. I forgot: horror and corean movies (ok, sometimes it's the same :) ) and it's better when you're are eating a greasy pizza !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

living with my lovely squirrel !

travelling on my own, it's incredible, you meet great people on the road !!! and couchsurfing helps me a lot ;)

and following a complete stranger, in middle of nowhere, to travel on his motorbike for a couple of days !

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you cooking, but surely you cook better than I do (I cook all day long, that makes the difference)I really want to improve my english, so please, help me when it isnt correct :)I have a passion for nutrition (sometimes I can be boring, I recognize :-p ) and essential oil, useful for many things (to take good care, to cook, to relax...) !

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Cambodia, Croatia, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Laos, Malaysia, Monaco, Montenegro, Morocco, Netherlands, Spain, Thailand, United Kingdom, Viet Nam

Countries I’ve Lived In
