ABOUT ME
How can I Objectively resume my life in few lines??
I have simple leisures. I enjoy being with people I do not know; I am not shy, I try to make people happy, laughing, and intend to make them comfortable.
I Love people and enjoy meeting them. I enjoy to share cultures, histories and compare it with mine.
I really enjoy express and improve my skills in foreign languages. (english, spanish, french) and I would love to learn some important words in others languages such as "thanks", "good morning"...
I am curious and I like to know how people use to cope with a specific situation. I like to learn from the others, and I take pleasure in teaching my knowledges.
I love the nature, I am a fan of mountains, lakes, wild landscapes, flowers...
I enjoy sharing a nice meal with friends and persons I have just met a few minutes ago, and what I like the most is to discover international food, I am not afraid of trying specialities.
As for me, the most important is to enjoy the present with the others. I can not imagine staying alone, I need to be around people, I learn a lot from them and they improve my spirits.
I have met so many nice people and I just want to keep on.
My motto is "carpe Diem", I enjoy the present and look for the shared happiness.
Music is a part of culture I much appreciate, I am very open minded and wish I could hear world wide music.
"Happiness, only exists when it shared"
Into the wild.
PHILOSOPHY
Carpe diem = enjoy the present time because we do not know what will happen tomorrow.
I believe in destiny, and sometimes, in our adversity, we can meet nice people which can make life even beter.
People I am going to meet are my best guide.
They can tell me what is the best food we can find in their place, they can advice me to go to precise locations which are closed to my values (not touristic places), they can tell me what is the best way to succeed.
I have a thirst for the unusual...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I was going to Oaxaca (Mexique). I was hitchhiking when a car stopped by the road, the guys looked young, so I decided to ask them if they were going to Oaxaca... effectively, they did!! So I got in the car, we talked a lot about everything, music, school, trips...
Before arriving at the destination, he asked me where was I going to, if I have booked an hostel, but I didn't, so he told me he knew a good friend of him which use to do "couch surfing"... I was thinking it would have been perfect, because I did not have that much money with me as I was doing hitchhiking. But I told him I was not registered, but he told me it was not a problem.
So he introduced me to her, and it was just amazing. She was about 50 years old, and with such a history, a culture so strong.
At the beginning I met her son, an artist who write plays, he used to teach theatre in a school at Oaxaca, and we began to talk, after a while, he asked me from where was I, I responded I was from France. So he asked me if I could help him to repete his play in both languages Spanish and french. So he registered my voice... he was pretty funny. Just after few minutes, I felt so comfortable in this house. Then, his mother came back home, I was so surprised, she was so nice, she had many thinks to tell me.
I really enjoyed to live their! I stayed 3 days, she explained me what to do, where to go to, what to eat, what to drink... It was a very good experience.
The first morning, when I waked me up, I could feel the smell of the pancakes she was cooking.
The day after, she cooked again... it was so good. I really appreciate this kind of relations.
Interests
I am interesting to meet people, to share experiences with them. I want to discover the world with people I am going to meet randomly.
I love doing some sport. I used to do climbing, tennis, badminton.
I love extrem sport like paragliding. I am planning to learn more about this sport thanks to a good friend in France, or wherever...

Music, Movies, and Books
I love autobiography (Into the wild) or touching movies (Slumdog Millionnaire).
As for music, I am eclectic, I love discovering the typical music of the country. Asa for me, music is so important, so strong, because it conveys such a strong message, a strong history. My goal is to pick up some pieces of worldwide music.
As for books, I enjoy reading autobiographies.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
The most amazing thing I have ever done is hitchhiking in Mexico.
My friends told me I was crazy, that it was dangerous, but I did it, and I am proud of it. It was such a nice and amazing experience, I met people so kind with me.
And I think, that if we feel well, if we look nice, smiling, carry on a nice aura, people you are going to meet will do your happiness.
Teach, Learn, Share
I love cooking for the others, I may teach some of the french specialities. I love being taught too, I would love to try to learn how to cook the food of other countries.
