Overview
About Me
Hi there,
UPDATE, I NOW LIVE IN LYON, FRANCE
Most of people find that I am really active and have a lot of energy!
I am organized and If I host you, I will treat you as my family member.
I was living in the west indies, Guadeloupe, since november 2015. I found a job here! I quit my job and everything there in January 2019 to travel mostly around NZ and Australia.
After 5 years in law i decided to travel around the world, that was back in 2010... I was away for 2 years (spent time in India and south east Asia and lived in NYC for 4 months) I came back to complete my Law degree. Which I did in October 2014. Then I was travelling on and off for the year (California, cambodia, Bali, India, Sri lanka) I still don't know exactly what to do in this life and where to go, but there is one thing that i'm sure is that I love to travel, meet new friends and live.
Work in Guadeloupe was the opportunity to travel still and have my first work experience.
PHILOSOPHY
Life is about opportunities, choices and people you meet, Make the most of it!!
Quotes I like "life begins at the end of your confort zone"
" Do you think adventure in dangerous, try routine, it's lethal" :)
Be a MINIMALIST we don't need 90% of our stuffs!!
“Travel light, live light, spread the light, be the light” ;)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I am used to travel by myself and i really Love the idea to have friends where ever I go! Its a great feeling that someone is waiting for you when you are far from home! :)
I really like to explain CS to people and some find it great and some are like "but you don't make money? why would you do it?"
What is great is that you will recieve from someone what you gave to another! When I am hosting I am not expecting anything from you, Don't be like "i can cook for you"! When I host I give and when I surf I get it back :)
I really enjoy both sides of Couchsurfing, I first used it as a guest, while I was travelling, in Sri Lanka, India, Thailand, Greece, and I started to host few Csers in Paris when i was there or Brittany at my mom's.
I generally got few requests a day so just so you know that I automatically refuse non personal request! CS isn’t a free hostel so if i can tell that people didn’t take time to read my profile! I am not going to give my time either....
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
My first couchsurfing experience was in Sri lanka, and it will probably remain the best ever! Isuru became a really good friend and after the time I had with him and his family I really wanted to try it again and host at my place as well!
3 years after, I was still in touch with Isuru and he invited me to his wedding! that was amazing experience to go back to SriLanka and experience this celebration with the whole family!!
In 2019 I met him again in Sydney where he lives now! How cool is that?
Interests
It's been three years that I am vegan, well almost (I do eat Honey sometimes) I feel really good about my choices and I am not going to change it anytime..
