ABOUT ME

Open-minded, honest, calm. I enjoy spending long periods of time alone, at home or in nature. With my friends, I enjoy good food and games. I love to dance, walk and cook.

When traveling, I plan my itineraries a little bit; I like to travel slowly. When possible, I like to camp. I try to stay open to my impulses and opportunities, which has allowed me to meet some really nice people and have some unforgettable experiences.

PHILOSOPHY

About travelling ... "On croit qu'on va faire un voyage mais bientôt, c'est le voyage qui vous fait, ou vous défait" (Nicolas Bouvier)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing to experience authenticity and sharing. When I travel, I like to discover the “real life” of the locals and not just see the touristy side of a place.

Interests

I love walking alone for several days. Among my most recent experiences: walking around Santa Maria Island in the Azores; part of the GR 34 trail in Brittany; five days in Saul in French Guiana.
I have been involved in theater for several years, and my favorite style is clowning, because clowns are very sensitive and have no limits.
I am part of a Carnival group in French Guiana, and we parade every Sunday throughout the Carnival season.

Music, Movies, and Books

A film: Latcho Drom by Tony Gatlif – fan of Jim Jarmush.
Music: Titi Robin and lots of other things.
A book: what to choose??? Gloria ANZALDUA, Terres frontalières, la frontera, la nueva mestiza ; Céline MINARD, le grand jeu ; are among the books that have had the greatest impact on me
I'm curious, I like discovering new things, I love immersing myself in a good book for hours, I listen to a bit of everything with a preference for world music, mixes, ska, rock steady ...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
