About Me
CURRENT MISSION
ATTENTION : I am living with my family (husband and 2 kids) and I only accept SOLO WOMEN travelers. Thanks !!
Live my life without wondering what should be better.
I have managed to settle down in my travel, what else to ask for !
ABOUT ME
Well, i'll try to be short.
All my young years (even if I'm still young), I had this obsession with crossing the world, this certainty that we learn the life thanks to people we meet, by our own experiences, and everyone agreed with me. Everyone use to say "a day, I will cross the world, a day, I will do this, do that..." but finally, who does ??
So I had the choice : Be a "normal" person, graduation, boyfriend, apartment, job... Or be... something else... and do just what I dream to do.
Live your dream, don't dream your life. Is that I decided.
Long story short, I met a guy while traveling, we got married and now I am living in Oakland with our two kids.
I feel that everything I do is for a reason, and everything on time will come, so I care about everything happen to me.
I used to be fashion designer and one day i decided to quite my job, start my own company and travel as well. I've been in US for few months, there circunstances, made me want to go to Asia, then Australia.
There I decided that one day I wanted to become a chef. So I started working to become a chef...
PHILOSOPHY
don't do to other what you don't want they do to you.
Live your dream, don't dream your life.
"For everything there is a reason, everything always on time will come"
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I host every times I have a house, and sometimes I surf.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I surfed the first time in Finland.
I think I felt embarrassed by the fact of disturbing somebody in his home.
Then I host some peoples in Paris, and I realised that I wasn't embarrassed with someone home, but just happy to host them and make then discovering the town
One day, I surfed in San Francisco, with a guy who used to work for CS, and few months later, I surfed in Bali, with a local guy, really nice, living in a traditional Bali's house, without internet, living with his parents, aunts, oncles, grand-parents, rooster, chicken etc etc (very traditional) and i felt amazing the contrast, and realise how couch surfing touch so many various people. Starting in the bay area, to the old school traditional indonesia !!
