Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Parcourir le monde et étudier le système d'éducation de chaque lieu. Je crois que ma place est en éducation et comme je suis une actrice de changement, j'aimerais faire de ma mission personnelle des changements sociaux positifs en éducation.
ABOUT ME
Je suis.
Tu es.
Nous sommes.
I am.
You are.
We are.
PHILOSOPHY
Trouver l'équilibre, c'est aussi basculer une fois de temps en temps. Un retour entre la conscience et le laisser-aller.
La vie porte parfois l'absurdité. Il ne faut pas la prendre au sérieux, en commençant par ne pas se prendre au sérieux soi-même.
Prendre soin de son environement, c'est d'abord réaliser qu'on n'est pas seul. Ensuite, apprendre à le connaitre et à l'aimer (sinon, y comprendre la raison de son existance). Ainsi, l'harmonie entre les éléments autant humains, naturels que spitiruels pourrait-elle être possible?
Le plus important n'est pas le résultat, mais le chemin que l'on a parcouru, parce que peu importe le résultat, c'est le processus qui nous en apprend le plus sur nous-même, sur les autres et la vie.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I haven't have too many experience yet. I believe it is because I rarely now before hand what my plans are gonna be. But I was a guest to more than one house before and had been host more than once. I like to give everybody his space and make sure I pull a bit of my own initative in the collective project.
Interests
Outdoors, music; play piano,listen and discover new bands, dancing, play sport, talk about the world and the change we can make, ''philosopher'', work physically (renovation, gardening, planting trees, etc.), arts and crafts(body painting, knitting, etc.), drama (I like to be silly and be absurd).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Depends of what surprises you! I surprised myself by renting a boat for my friends birthday (I would never thought I could spend so much gas in a so short time... that was crazy to me!)
But I also bungee jump, have seen a bear and an bald eagle, had a ride in a bus (the cheapest) in South America at night when the driver is drunk.
Teach, Learn, Share
Everybody really can teach me something.
