I want to try something new. does anyone want to live in the van with me for a day or two?

I'm a wandering witch with my two dogs and my van. I rarely need a place to stay unless you live somewhere I couldn't take my van. But meeting locals or other travelers is the roots of why I travel, so always up for that. Also, I would love to sneak in a shower once in a while :P

I am quite a free person, couldn't get pinned down by work, stability, conventional love... I have the privilege and opportunity of living my life fully, no strings attached and that's what I'll do. The van and dogs are a lot of responsibility, I can't say life is always easy and fun, but I chose to enjoy as much as I can. Hope you can hop along for a few adventures.

My dogs love a long hike, they are friendly and free. I'm still trying to teach them to stay put when I need to leave them and well... Glasgow can be a whiny bitch. Other than that, he's the most playful and fun big doggo I've met, also very easy to live with. And Mushu is just perfect, she's a cat, she'll snuggle onto your lap or lay on her back wagging her tail to get your attention and love.

I feel like possibly my instagram account might show you what I'm like better than me babbling about (it's also very likely to be more up to date than here)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I signed up in September 2012 to go on a last minute trip to Norway. with a friend.
I've been hosting and surfing as much as I could for the last 9 years ! Meeting fantastic people, visiting their cities and landscapes with them, or taking them through my life.
I have felt home with people I knew nothing about, had crazy adventures or was literally reborn with these humans.

Interests

I'm fond of visiting crazy places, meeting new people and I'm living between theatres, pubs, wild streams and grottos... I also love modern circus and dance. I'm a vegetarian with vegan tendencies and strongly against inequalities between sentient beings (gender identities, races, sexualities, classes...).
I love discovering very different places and people. Going out and talking to strangers, just like that, to prove myself I'm not that shy and above all, to discover new people and new ideas.

I'm also very often floating off in my own thoughts, which means, you can just act as if I weren't there...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've decided to go to Norway and bought the tickets 2 hours later...

I've spent minutes in the total dark of the catacombs, waiting for a light to appear at the end of the corridor, and that was the best feelings in the world

I've been hitchhiking and wild camping for two weeks, in Ardèche, meeting lovely people, discovering hidden treasures of nature and living in the most beautiful streams

I went to Scotland for a year with my dog without ever having been there before.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a little wild girl who lived her childhood between cows, goats, chickens, cats, dogs, rats, ferrets and other animals who passed through my life.

I studied English and teaching French as a foreign language, I also taught French in Scotland for a year and in Paris before that so I can help you with both languages and it would be a pleasure.

But I would, myself, learn about anything and looove it (especially languages and travelling experiences).
I often do workaway and would love to help and learn about construction work (especially eco-construction) and farming, gardening etc... If you need help tell us !!!
