CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life in little things

ABOUT ME

I think I’m a positive girl that enjoys life in the simplest ways. I love to laugh (and I do it a lot!), I’m addicted – not totally… - to red wine and strong coffee, I like the smell of old books, I think words are funny and my favorite meals are the ones you eat at 2 am. I enjoy meeting new people and I’m always ready to get into discussions about pretty much anything.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to be happy with little things, moments are precious. Respect of others (culture, religions, politics…) and communication are the key to a healthy world (though it's not always applied by the people ruling it).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I talk about the project to the people I meet and that want to travel around. Trying to promote as much as possible this amazing way to discover the world!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have done couchsurfing in Europe a few times already – I used the profile that was both for me and my friend (catherine.et.elise – you’ll find some similar stuff, of course).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Amazing? I don’t know. But I have a few anecdotes…
10 firemen changed the tired of my rented car in a small town of Portugal.
An American guy taught me how to make bread in a small village lost in Toscana.
I hitchhiked in a truck that usually carries living animal. The driver let us in the middle of a local festival and people applaud us when we got out of the truck.

Teach, Learn, Share

I’m a French teacher, so everything related to that language (history, culture, accents, etc.) is « my cup of tea ».
What else... depends of what you know and don't know ;)!
