CURRENT MISSION

Just Want To Be A Vagabond And Find The Right Place For Me To Settle

ABOUT ME
I'm 35 yo, originally from France but I'm now called a 'friwi'. I'm a french expat in NZ. I have been living in Auckland for more than 6 years now.

I may be 31 but in my head i'm still 21. I stop counting :) I'm still a kid in a kid body...i'm pretty tiny :)

I Like Travelling & Discover Many New Things and New People. Im pretty amazed and fascinated by anything :)

I love nature (mountains, forest, beaches, ocean, fields, flowers, trees, waterfalls, national park) and I love animals.

I'm pretty active and love hiking, yoga, meditation, zumba, ballet.

I Can spend hours & hours looking at the sky or waiting many hours to take pictures of animals.I m a huge fan of all the animals or insects that exist in this world.

I also really enjoy when the elements of earth get crazy and remind us that they were here first (i like walking in the woods under a storm, i like thunder and lightning, i like rain, i like sun, i like the smells of grass and walking barefoot in the grass)

A dream : to be a wildlife photographer

Another dream : sailing all around the world but i am a bit seasick and that's sucks :)

When i was a kid i wanted to be a vet, an archaeologist or Indiana Jones.

PHILOSOPHY

-Ne fais jamais aux autres ce que tu n'aimerais pas que l'on te fasse

-Notre vie est ce qu'en font nos pensées

-Le bonheur ne depend pas de l'endroit où l'on se trouve mais des personnes avec qui on le partage

-Ego is the death of authenticity

-Try to live life at the fullest, One Day at a time and with no regrets

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can Bake and Cook a lot :)

I host & I surf.

I also organise a weekly Tv series Session. Every Monday my fellow couchsurfers and I are watching the last episode of Game Of Thrones at my place.

I am one of the organiser of The Cs weekly drinks in Auckland.

And every Thursday I try to gather everyone to go to a cheap place where we can eat 5$ pizza and drink Heineken for 3$.

I try to organise other events as much as possible and participate to the weekly drinks in Auk every week.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The First Couchsurfer I met was a girl when I was in a night club in South Korea in 2007 i think. She just came to talk to me and introduce me to this wonderful world :)
Since then I met many good friends via CS during my year in Australia and in NZ.

I believe in people and love meet amazing people during my journey. It helps me grow and become a better person.
