About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Hosting for now and getting reading for my next trips... anywhere

ABOUT ME

I love not only to travel but also to live abroad to have in-depth knowledge of different cultures. I've lived in Hong Kong and the UK where I've learnt how to climb and dance! I enjoyed the couch of great hosts in Asia and it's been such an amazing experience. They've often been very supportive.
I could say much more about myself but I wouldn't know where to start. But anyway I believe that a profile page like this isn't the best place for that: if you want to know more, just meet me!

PHILOSOPHY

Carpe Diem, in its entire meaning. I believe that enjoying every single moment of life is the path to happiness - and not just a path actually, it's happiness itself!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love helping others and meeting people when I travel. I have surfed a few couches, but I haven't had many occasions to host yet. My door is open ! I did meet up with travelers though, showing them around or just hanging out while I was travelling !

My experience has been only good, or even very good until now. I want to keep meeting couchsurfers from anywhere in the world !

Interests

I like every kind of music. I enjoy any sports, but especially climbing and basketball. I don't read as much as I would like to but if you have any good idea let me know! Otherwise I've also been dancing for a couple of years, I like learning new languages (I know three), which is very useful while travelling !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Done: Traded my old belt for a - also old - sarong in Bali

Seen: Angkor Vat, Cambodia is the most magnificient place I've ever seen in my life. Also I've seen a snake eating a big blue lizard in the wild. That was cool.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm willing to teach/learn languages and share culture ! Especially I would like to learn Chinese and Arabic, and I can teach French, English and Spanish :) or you can listen to my long and boring stories about how I traveled Asia on my own :P
