About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Really enjoy the world and travel so that later, when I have kids, I can tell them stories about the places that I've been to...

ABOUT ME

I live in the south of France near the beach.

I love spending my days at the terrace of a small cafe watching the world go by...

I love my job, and my little brother [he's not THAT little].

I am living 2007 in Canada, 9 months in Montreal and the last 3 on the west coast of Canada and the U.S.

And the most important thing is that I have a 'strawberry' on my head - want to know more, ask me?

One small thing about my childhood that I should add, I have very fond memories of my grand-mother telling me stories about her life and all that it encompassed and me listening with eyes wide open...

A personal goal: Have my kids feel the same way as I tell them stories of my travels and my life..

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now, I'm enjoying surfing different couches and by summer 2008, I will be hosting some incredible people...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am brand new to this experience and I like it so far, but I will let you know more soon...

Interests

I could spend an entire day in the movie theatre, hours buried in a book, a good book of course, and the whole night in front of my computer..

I enjoy good food, really good food really makes me smile.. When the budget allows, I love to go out to restaurants, taste new things, and spend time with friends around 4-5 dishes that we'll split. Afterwards, if still awake, we'll play cards to the early hours of the morning and we'll rebuild the world through our eyes.

I also enjoy just sitting around doing nothing, if I decided that today was a nothing to do day..

I love to cook [from scratch], go to the movies, take a stroll along the beach, travel when I can, go to movies some more, spend time with the whole family,
my friends and just in case you had any doubts, go to the movies some more... :)

I like shopping a little [after all, I'm still a girl!], I love documentaries, movies, series, and anything around that medium..

I like to play board and card games... and let's not forget watch or read about current events/news.

and most importantly, I love life...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spent an incredible Dec 31st 2005, volunteering and helping to setup the event for an association that helps the homeless and the under-priviledged... I will remember this night my whole life...

Bring the kids from the community center where I work, for a day to the Poudlard School.
