ABOUT ME

I enjoy life in a very peaceful way :) From partying to quiet moments with my good friends, I try to make the most of it!
And then... nothing very special to say about me I guess!

Just for my background:
I'm done with a master in low energy housing and I'm highly interested in the subject (being in Austria was really wicked for that!) as it links the reality of our consuming world to the environment. And that gives me hope for the future!
I have been travelling a bit lately as I was working in Singapore last year, before that I was doing an internship in Vorarlberg / Austria and in 2008/2009 I was an exchange student in New Zealand. I enjoy to traveling like this a lot, spending 6 months in a country, living there for real, meeting people around, without any fixed plan for the next months or years...

PHILOSOPHY

Getting rid of these society chains to feel free, fulfill myself and be happy!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting, being hosted when I'm home, meetings

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted in Versailles and Singapore where I had a decent enough place and was hosted in Austria and France.
I have also been joining many group meetings, organizing others, I've been showing people around, exchanged guitar lessons for english ones and so on :)

Interests

What I enjoy :
- travelling (well that's in every single CS description but it would still be weird not to write it, right?)
- any type of sport in the wild: I can't live without mountains (hiking, canyoning, canoeing) and also really enjoy sailing and diving
- music: I've been trying to learn guitar for one year, but I really suck!! (unfortunately for my flatmates, I'm still training, arrrgh!)
- any DYO stuff or craftwork
- cooking (and not only fat french dishes I really enjoy cooking some asian food :) )
- spend time with my friends when I come back home

Hitch-hiking 3 hours in a truck filled with kebab, talking in a mix of german/french/spanish/italian/english but still getting along :)
