About Me

CURRENT MISSION

making bubbles while finding my today's motto

ABOUT ME

I often go outside to take photographs of anything and everything, even when I'm not travelling. I believe that you can talk about the weather with everyone on Earth, but I didn't prove it yet! I'm not able to make a decision especially at the restaurant. It always takes forever before I know what to order.

I'm a morning person, but I sometimes like to sleep until noon. I hate to eat alone and when it happens, I eat corn flakes or porridge and surf on the Internet to avoid the fact that I eat alone. I wear black clothes most of the time, but I'm not gothic. I read comic books before going to sleep and drink too much coffee in the morning.

PHILOSOPHY

I don't have a proper motto. I had one today, it would be different the next day.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to be interested in every person that I meet through it. It's cliché in couchsurfing, but still, I believe in it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've cousurfed in France, Spain, Germany, Porto, Toronto, Glasgow, Ireland, Stockholm, Belgium, Vienna, Bulgaria, Turkey and United States. I hosted in Montreal, Paris and Vancouver. I like when people talk to me about anything and when they show me something that I would have never heard about if I wasn't couchsurfing.

Interests

Drawing trees, talking about the weather, reading children books, chasing old people with my camera, walking all day long in a city or in a forest, design, haiku, art, snow, snowshoeing, hiking, photography, anthropology, music, comics, postcards, coffee, cheese, food in general, wine and finally, I would eat ice cream each day if I could.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I climbed up the Kilimanjaro with high heels while cooking a carrot cake and knitting a scarf for my lover.

Teach, Learn, Share

When you're sad or in the mood for nothing, you can put a pencil in your mouth (between your teeth) to exercise the muscles of your smile. Then, your brain will think that you are smiling and you'll feel much more happy for the rest of the day!
