About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learning cool things, making new friends and travelling around the world!

ABOUT ME

I love travelling and meeting new people. I'm very open minded and encourage people to be true to themselves. Art is very important to me, and that includes paintings, fashion, music, films and food! I like interacting with people and also going out to explore the place I'm in. My main goal when going somewhere new is getting to know the locals' lifestyle and mindset! :)

PHILOSOPHY

Live and Become

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have surfed quite a bit, but since I've been constantly on the road for the past few years I only had time to have one hosting experience.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been addicted to CS experience since the first time I tried it. It is very enriching and truly priceless! I wouldn't go back to hotels and touristic guides when travelling!

Interests

Environmental and social issues, fashion, tattoos, costume parties, exotic food, photography, 50's and 60's movies, cocktail making, street fairs, music festivals.

Music, Movies, and Books

Most french movies, 50's and 60's movies, the classic ones with Marilyn Monroe, Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn.
I like world music, specially when it's a mash of traditional tunes with modern styles, like Shanghai Restoration Project and Asian Dub Foundation.
As for books, I'm a passionated fan of Arthur C. Doyle's Sherlock Holmes Series and Douglas Adams' Hitchhikers To The Galaxy, and the enlightening work of Kalil Gibran.
