About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Architect and structural engineer, I work mainly as project leader on national or international architectural competition.

ABOUT ME

Dreamer...

Full of dreams, I wanna go back to Africa, work with the people and buit with them, improving their dwellings...
Some say that I live in another planet.

I found my soul mate. We have a particular point of view on the concept of couple so we share an open relationship and are a happy married couple

PHILOSOPHY

Is there a truth? Everything seems so absurd.. Maybe the only truth inside each and every one, is the happiness we all have.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'd love to host but our schedule is tight and we only have a sofa-bed in the living. Depending on the date, we might be able to host !

I work a lot, so I can't be a guide and spend so much time with the travelers... But if I can, i'd be glad to do so!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Louis (my husband) and I went to Porto and Lisboa in 2014 where we were hosted by wonderful people. In 2015, I spent one month in Eastern Europe where I also only was hosted by Couchsurfers. I loved it and made good friends. Sharing a trip with locals is such a magnificent experience. Couchsurfing is a beautiful community. Bravo!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent one year traveling.
Three months in Kenya, doing voluntary work : I spent christmas with the street children of Kisii, I've been a teacher in a little maasai village where i lived alone in a little house without electricity and water..
I went to Togo for a mission alone : the project was rebuilding an orphanage. I spent my time preparing the field, organizing meetings with the community, the financial partners, listing the program, etc.

I found my soul mate, isn't it amazing?
