CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

A mix of fun and emotions! I enjoy practicing theater and doing or hearing music. I used to play the piano, too. The stage is my second home. Well, I've got a lot of home! France, Germany, Art... I'm interesting in meeting discovering new cultures, new arts of living and to share it with other, so that I can better understand their way of living. I'd like to speak better english, so that I'll be able to travel all over the world.
I'm found of animals and nature and I find it's a pity that we don't live nearer to them. It makes me much pleasure to go through the forest, or to drive bicycle in the countryside. I also enjoy a big trip in the mountains with a bivouac night. I love to swim in lakes and make a fire on the seerange...
Circus, cinema, strong feelings...
Poetry, colours, paintings, cooking, dreaming...

PHILOSOPHY

generous, respectfull, curious, dynamique, effervescent, open-minded, creative, tolerant, crazy, dreamer...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Summer 2010 I made a big trip through America and wanted to meet people in Québec, California and New York. German friends told me about CS for my departure and I found this is a great organisation.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It was in Sacramento (California) I met Karl, the first couchsurfer for me, and I'll never forget that day. We first seat in front of Sutter's Fort and then in a bar, where we sang french songs with the other people, it was a very great sunny day!

Interests

Theater; Circus; Singing Jazz & Chansons & many other things; learning foreign languages; discover other populations; compare our traditions; TRAVEL; meet people and live great adventures with them; falling in love; DREAMING!!
I also love animals, looking at great movies (a preference to black and white silent movies), I often enjoy cooking, walking in the forest, taking good pictures, have fun with nice people
