About Me

I am putting efforts in discovering the world, in the way I can honor it the best. Life is so beautiful, everyday, despite some things, I am always blown away, mesmerized by its kindness, look at the plants: I learnt something recently, how poetical was it, I will tell you.
Still, it is always much better to talk in real, we can see, touch, feel, receive that global impression, turning into something more clear.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on couch surfing, because I want to travel the world and learn new skills concerning gardening and permaculture
I am a nomad right now , but as soon as studies will go back again on September, I will be able to accept guests, which makes me happy. I want to share the possibility to the others and I, to walk the world freely and openly. Money should not block you from discovering and fulfilling your soul.
Overall this materialistic details, the point in all this is to make new meetings and create links around the world, like a garden, it is important to grow in diversity and respect.
I don't understand people who don't want to share a night because the guest can not host, this is going against my personal statements, as I understand the fact that many people don't have the possibility yet, to own a place. Although, I do not give credits to people taking advantages on couch surfing by having a selfish or being just opportunistic of traveling for free, this is a humane exchange, a soul meet, everything but not an opportunity. I knew people who had this attitude, and toward the beauty of couch surfing, I find it in divergence with its principles of sharing and discovering.
But basically, I am on couch surfing because I want to meet you, make your trip easier and nicer, and hoping the same for me.

Interests

Moving, dancing (ballet and contemporary), the technic of Body Mind Centering (BMC): recognizing my own body, others' as well. If I am waiting for someone, for example, I look at a flower. In sort of: I am not waiting, but enhancing the time by contemplation, by putting some efforts into considering slowly, the beauty within things. For now it is a flower, but it may be somebody's sleeve, a hole in the ground, a word I would not understand. Everything is interesting, as long as it fulfills you somehow, even boredom is fulfilling, alright.

I wonder a lot, about things in the sky daytime or at night. Added to this, the smell of rain, the wind filling an opened room, I am into fixing things up, because it enhances my soul to fix things up.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I understood the present, as I was riding my bike in the field and began to speak out my mind, and I was blown away by the beauty surrounding me

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to take the best of your garlic's taste, I can cook you an amazing pesto, with the nettles growing in your backyard. Drawing, I do etching as well (although I could not teach you those technics as it is very specific and needy in furnitures, maybe you have those ?), painting mostly oil, the interconnection between the breath and the painting gesture, like François Cheng's writings about Chinese painting, and overall, painting in every form. I could even teach you some french if you are interested.
I am into learning gardening and permaculture technics, I am doing Wwoofing, and have projects in the future involving the rehabilitation of a dying garden: let's make the utopia and paradise possible !

What I Can Share with Hosts

Listening, painting, drawing, dance, helping at the farm, helping at the garden, helping at precise things, helping at kitchen, joy, tenderness, love, simplicity.
