CURRENT MISSION

"Explore. Dream. Discover"

ABOUT ME

Hi there! I'm Floraine, but most people call me Flo, or Flow, depends if you wanna go with me or not ;) Got it?? As you can see, I'm very bad at making jokes but that's ok because I don't take myself too seriously.
I love sunsets, hula hoops, pandas and avocado on toast. But most of all I love life and all the great opportunities it offers.
Travelling is a very big part of it. So far, it has given me not only a great understanding of other cultures and ways of living but has also given me the chance to develop a self identity and how I fit into this world.

PHILOSOPHY

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” -Mark Twain-

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Even when I don't host or surf, I use CS a lot to know what's going on around me, to find travel buddies and people to go out with.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far, CS gave me much more than couches to sleep on. It helped me jumping outside my comfort zone, as I know I can go anywhere in the world, I'll always meet amazing human beings that I can trust and exchange with. The people I met so far through CS, especially in the countries I lived, did not only host me, they helped me settling into my new life, and gave me so much strength and support.

Interests

I am interested in many different artistic activities even if I'm not very good at any of them... I particularly love photography and dancing and I can hold a hula hoop for ever!
I also have a passion for African culture and other stuff I don't remember right now. But above all, I love my friends and meeting new ones!

Teach, Learn, Share

Each place you visit and each person you meet along the way is going to teach you something. That's what life is, constant learning.
