Aloha!

My name is Marie-Eve and I'm currently a wanderer. Well, I mean I left my country last July to pursue one of my oldest dream : to do a long-term trip around South-East Asia. I wanted to experiment travelling as a life style, not only a short break in my normal life, and feel the real freedom of having no return date.

Read the rest of my profil and you'll size me pretty well! ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I started my trip, I realized that it was hard to meet locals and be truly in contact with the culture while staying in hostels. I'm a curious and interested person, the kind who likes to learn the language of the visited country and eat local only. I felt like something was missing, that I was passing by something important...

No matter how many temples, villages, cities or islands you've visited, mountains you've hiked, waves you've surfed ... if you haven't met with the locals, you haven't saw a country. This is why I'm on Couchsurfing.

Books : The Pacific Warrior, by Dan Millman ; The Celestine Prophecy, by James Redfield ; The Why Cafe, by John Streckely ; Wild, by Cheryl Strayed ; Tracks, by Robyn Davisdon ; Into the Wild and Into Thin Air, John Krakauer ; etc. I like life-changing books... and traveling stories!

Movies : All movies from the 90s, especially those staring Brad Pitt, hihi (Seven years in Tibet, Legend of the Falls, Interview with a Vampire ; Seven ; Meet Joe Black ; 12 Monkeys).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most amazing thing I've done in my life is overcoming fear and realizing that dreams only exist to be fulfill. And if I can inspire only one person to do the same, I would be the most happy human being in the world. :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach English and French, as I'm perfectly fluent in both. I also just finished my yoga teacher training program and I would be happy to practice with my hosts! :)

I wish to learn about the culture, rituals and religion of the country I'm visiting. I also LOVE to discover new dishes and learn how to cook them.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I definitely can share my smile and my good vibe! :) I can share interesting, sometimes philosophical even, conversations. I really like to share about my culture too. And every hobby I listed above.
