About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My purpose? Going playing with mongooses and swimming with narwhals. I'm joking of course.

I am working in a travel agency in Cusco, Peru.

ABOUT ME

I'm a young, dynamic and friendly person, I think I'm good company! :)
I like to travel, I easily share and exchange!
Have a good day and perhaps I'll see you soon in Peru or abroad :) !

PHILOSOPHY

The more we share, the more we possess. Here is the miracle.

If you don't read my profil, you won't be hosted by me. I don't write all my profil underneath for just the pleasure to write it for myself. Of course, I'm not a hostel. When you're travelling, if you don't find CS members where you can stay, don't sent desperate unpersonal couchrequest "I don't find anyone, please can you host me?" because, when you travel, you have to be far-sighted. If you don't find a host, search hostel or a campsite, like most travellers do. If you can travel, whatever the way you do it, if you do travel, its you can put ten euros in a youth hostel for one night.

Interests

I like art, drawing, cinema, photography, I'm also addicted to litterature!
I spend my free time hanging around with friends, afternoons in the bookstores and then evenings to read! I also like to ride my bicycle (still faster than the tramway) and spend some days to the beach when it's sunny and hot!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I took a picture with a Scottish cow (amazing creature!) in the famous Highlands, I ate roast chestnuts in London, I sit on a turtle and see giraffes in Senegal, I rode a dromedary in Morocco, I buy some delicious food in the market of St Nicholas' Day in Berlin and I swam in the Irish sea (frozen, frozen, frozen)!
I walked in a black and red beach in Santorini, watching the sunset. I watched toucans in Costa Rica during a canyoning in the middle of the jungle.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help the learning of French, I like speaking about history and culture, it would be a pleasure to exchange about it. I would love to improve my English!
