CURRENT MISSION

short-circuit greed by giving. Promote an alternative way of globalisation.

ABOUT ME

I am french and I've been living abroad most of my professional life, in the UK, Canada and the States. I love people and their differences and I can't stress enough how important this experience has been to me and to what I'm trying to be (become).
I grew up in a small town but I'm definitely a city girl, though more about walking along streets and discovering things as I go, than scheduled trips and bookings in trendy places. I enjoy a cozy coffee shop, a park or a pub, much more than clubbing.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe greed beyond what one can spend in his/her entire life is a mental disease as dangerous as psychopathy (if not a form of it).
I believe the only way to beat money is to not want it (once we have acheived the basic needs of course).
I believe there is no god and that makes us fully responsible for the beauty and ugliness we create. I also believe beliefs about god(s) are individual and shouldn't be imposed to anyone (specially children).
I believe beliefs and phylosophy don't stand against a starving person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Don't know yet, I'm a newbie.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Newbie...

Interests

I work in the cinema industry because I'm a movie nuts. I'm also into any visual art, painting, sculptures, theatre, danse, street shows, musicals, etc... I love museums and exhibitions.
I love to randomly walk in a neighborood I don't know, take a lot of pictures with 2 or 3 cameras of various kinds for experiments.
I also love real conversations, philosophical exchanges.
I'm a crap cook but a food lover.
I'm not so big in sport, working out, politics (political politics at least, much too cynical on that to be remotely interested), religions (I'm an atheist) and small talks (find them incredibly boring).

Music : I don't mind it but I don't listen too much of it so I'm disconnected. I'm into french singers with real lyrics, rock and pop, old jazz...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sky diving.
Flying over Manhattan with an ex-fighter pilote from the israelian army after 9/11.
Being stuck in the middle of Big Bend Park in Texas in deep trouble (dam you texan rangers for not closing dangerous roads and not even checking on them !).
