CURRENT MISSION

Freedom for every aspect of my life

ABOUT ME

Let's say I'm a dropout, thus I have a strong personality, my own life's rythm.
Will you be able to bear my laugh, my fragile health, my religion (Christian), the fact I'm left handed ?
I'm a non smoker woman ; I drink so little.
I am : kind, open minded, independant (but also very conscious about interdependance), hypersensitive, smiling, intuitive, mysterious, curious, complex, discreet, shy, greedy. Great dreamer & sleeper, I'm a special mix of tradition and avant-garde (for instance, I never took the plane !). I always try to value the risks I take.
Consumer society is not for me.
Hitch-hiking is part of my life. Since 2006, I did five long distance travels : three in FRANCE, two abroad (BELGIUM, ITALY).

PHILOSOPHY

I appreciate Epicure.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By :
- communicating about CS,
- trying to share what I can offer,
- being a link between couchsurfers,
- helping couchsurfers in need,
- answering to emergency requests,
- selecting my hosts.
