About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoying Montreal as much as I can before I leave !!!

ABOUT ME

I'm currently living in Montreal's Mile End which is according to me the best place in the world !!!

Unfortunately or not, I'm turning back to France soon but it's a matter of time before I decide to discover new places !

PHILOSOPHY

"We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us"

"Take only pictures, leave only footprints"

I believe in karma and astrology but I'm not as extreme as Phoebe Buffay!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We can meet for activities where I am while I'm there !

Unfortunately I can't host for the moment since I'm in transition but I hope I can soon contribute in making you discover all the great spots around Nantes, France, my birth place.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I just had my first couchsurfing experience recently in Quebec City and it turned out to be really great ! I also had the chance to participate to the meeting of couchsurfers in Quebec.

Now I just hope to live other similar experiences wherever I'll be in the next months and years :)

Interests

Je voyage depuis toujours, c'est une partie de moi, je n'imagine pas vivre sans bouger et découvrir de nouveaux endroits, même si ce n'est que le temps d'un week end!

J'aime l'exploration urbaine mais aussi celle des grands espaces, j'adore découvrir des lieux insolites et insoupçonnés, que ce soit dans les grandes villes ou en pleine nature.

J'aime découvrir les cultures, les contrastes en tout genre, m'imprégner des rencontres que je fais, des lieux où je vais...

Et puis j'aime la lecture, l'écriture, le yoga, la natation, la gastronomie, les arts en général, ce qui fait vibrer ce monde :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I love movies that make me reflect on life, on human relationships, and all the mysteries beyond this two things :)

I love books that tell the stories behind the people and populations, novels of formation, travel stories...

I listen to any kind of music as long as I feel the vibration, and I usually listen to electro music (house, deep house, techno), indie and rock music, oriental music (i secretly love Indian pop) !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sunsets and sunrises in abandoned places

I have a secret place where I like to hang out once in a while in my city of birth and some people get the chance to follow me there ;)

I had the Marie-Antoinette experience, drinking with friends in the middle of the night in the heart of the jardin de Versailles, it was definitely one of the most uncommon experiences I had!

Also I have to confess i'm quite obsessed with Berlin ! Which is not that uncommon!

Teach, Learn, Share

Both in my professional and personal life, I consider myself as a bridge between people, people and places, people and ideas.

I like to think of life as a constellation where everything is connected and I'm always searching for new links !
