CURRENT MISSION

always look at the bright side of life

ABOUT ME

it's been years that I left this "all about you" box quite empty, as I think it's quite hard and could be totally not objective to describe your own self. I should ask all of you to help me write this part. Best is actually to look at my references!!!
If I combine all that and try and summarize it would give something like "hey! I'm Charlotte, I'm a happy person, enthousiastic, on time, very social. I'm working a lot and when I am not, I go to concerts, take pictures, eat and I meet friends."

PHILOSOPHY

always look on the bright side of life, la la la la la la la

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I used to be a very active member a while ago in France, then it was a bit more difficult when I was at the end of my PhD and then I moved to the USA and switch my two-bedrooms apartment to a studio. Although it is now a bit difficult for me to host people and be the great host I used to be (my kitchen here sucks and I don't even have a dinner table!), I can still be available to show you around (I do have a car), have a coffee or just answer questions about SF Bay Area !

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had only wonderful couchsurfing experiences for the moment! I did meet people via couchsurfing who are now very good friends of mine
