About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever"

ABOUT ME

Hi I'm Isaline! I'm a very positive and optimistic person. I like to find the little things in everyday life that make me happy :D

I love traveling, beeing outside my confort zone (you know... there where the magic happens!), meeting passionate people and discover other lifestyles, cultures, languages and ways of thinking.

I like to connect with people and to feel what is their "motivation factor" in their life.

I'm originated from a small village in the Jura in Switzerland and I'm now living in the city of Biel/Bienne (close to Bern).

I have been traveling in Indonesia during several months and I would like once to travel over there by bike!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

After my first CouchSurfing experience in 2010 in my own country (in Tessin, the Italian part of Switzerland), I had a lot of very positive adventures with Couch Surfing hosts and friends in Indonesia during my trips there. I even started to learn the Indonesien language with my hosts ;-)

Interests

I like outdoor sports such as jogging, mountain bike, climbing, hiking in the moubtain, skiing and snowboarding, doing slackline, swimming in any pool, lake or river.

I like to invite my friends in my shared flat and to cook together; Team spirit is an important driver for me!

Music, Movies, and Books

Babel, Seven years in Tibet, Into the Wild, le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain,... and a lot of other films from France. I like many kinds of movies except horror movies!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelling 2'000km by bike alone from Switzerland to Biarritz during 3 weeks (ViaRhôna, Canal du Midi, Toulouse, Atlantik)

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you some base of slackline (if you have one or if we find one in a park). Slackline is for me like doing sport and meditation at the same time!

Countries I’ve Visited

Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Greece, India, Indonesia, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Serbia, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, United Kingdom
