Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Listen to the counts of travelers, be inspired, enjoy new and forgotten experiences
PHILOSOPHY
I like to change and I invest all my energies to evolve...
I'm happy when I express plenty and freely all my energy, in the company of other human beings
I'm also happy when something really surprises me, astonishes me and makes me shake
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I'll be happy to share a good time with travellers. To exchange points of view about places and experiences.
I would also like to meet other people abroad, understand their way of thinking and living. I'll bring them a positive spirit and all my energy!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
A first positive experience in Portugal, some friends in the Toulouse community and some guests. What I lived encouraged me to be more and more involved
Interests
Some things I like:
History. International politics, as "history on-going". Sociology.
I try to understand why things happen and what men are looking for from others. For each matter, I like to have the vision of everyone involved.
Architecture.
What I like is not only the shape, but the fact that it expresses a way of thinking.
Paintings and frescos, classics or moderns, like l'Empire des Lumières of Magritte, the Deposition of Pontormo, some Caravaggio's or Schiele's. I like elegance and mystery in paintings.
Photography, casual portraits in particular or stolen pictures with people. Also posters, for publicity or propaganda (René Gruau...)
I used to play piano. Now I'm charmed by anyone else playing it... The human voice reaches me too, so I likes opera, jazz, blues, fado, tango and also rock/pop singers with peculiar voices.
Traveling! and many other things, like sailing, wind surfing, board games and in general any king of social game or sport. I love challenges!
Some more critical activities:
Cooking! I love to have a good meal and I know good places in Toulouse for every budget, but I cannot manage to be passionate by cooking. To survive, I buy excellent products and try to make them eatable with the less possible effort (boiled water, oven...)
When it goes to social negotiations, I always wash the dishes... (I'm a pros!)
Dancing. I like to shake and I'm improving my way of doing it, aiming to the ultimate goal of being synchronous with music! The idea is always the same: to have fun, no matter what!
Shopping? By myself I can barely tolerate it, but with the good girl it can be a nice game ;)
