CURRENT MISSION

My current mission right now is to travel connect people and show that our world is evolving. Sharing is so much important than owning. We have a lot to learn from each other.

ABOUT ME

I'm Célya a 26 years old french woman. I lived in Paris. But I traveled a lot since a couple of years.
I have been a couchsurfer for 5 years. But I lost my previous profile with the new version :(

PHILOSOPHY

We have so much to learn from each other.
I'm part of a collaborative economy community OuiShare.
Our credo : "sharing is most important than owning".
I try to be more peaceful and relax. Yoga and meditation help me for that. I know that the most important thing is inner peace. But in our world it is sometime difficult to find it and its the most important mission in my life. If you find your inner peace, you can give to other and help them a lot..

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first couchsurfing was in LA 4 years ago. We arrived with my bf in a big house. Seven people living there. We spent a beautiful evening with them, playing poker and eating Nutella that we offered to them.
I met after a lot of couchsurfers in paris. My flat was too tiny to host them. But I participated to several meetup!
THen I wen to india and I stayed with an amazing couchsurfer. He welcomed me at the airport and helped me a lot in Delhi. THanks to him I stayed two days at one of his friend's house at Haridwar. After two weeks in Rishikesh, we spent a last evening to eat dosa in a great restaurant at Delhi! Thank you Bahnu!
