About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Finding good vibes, growing good vibes, spreading good vibes

ABOUT ME

I do not snore and I am quite a good cook ;) I try to eat vegetarian food when possible but I do eat meat.
I get very excited when playing games (music quizz, cards, board games, Just Dance), I am also looking after sports activities (cycling, hiking, climbing, water sports...) and I like creative activities too.
I am not a massive drinker but I enjoy having a beer in nature or in town.

PHILOSOPHY

When you don't have the time to travel, make travels come to you : host CSers !

Welcome everyone !!! I want to make couch-surfers feel comfortable, to get to know them, and if I have time, to show them around Montpellier.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I met my dad when I was 23. Then, he introduced me to my 4 siblings.
Rescuing turtles, banding young flamingos, woofing, scuba-diving in Maldives, helping refugees, working as an interpreter for a birth delivery...

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy teaching French and sharing about my culture. Singing karaoke may be a good support :D
I am a language geek: I try to use the local language as much as possible so I have basics in Swedish, Portuguese, Chinese, Italian and Thai but the only languages I communicate with are French, English, Spanish and Japanese.

I worked as a tour guide so I can share a lot about sea turtles, flamingos and salt if you're interested...!

I can play/teach some tunes with the ukulele, saxophone and harp.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Outdoor activities, games, sharing about life, music, goals, projects.
