About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meeting people, crossing experiences and sharing life moments

ABOUT ME

I like travelling (that may not be very imaginative, but let tell the truth) of course !
In leisure time, I like singing french songs (I used to be part of a chorale), writing texts, going to theater or living art, seeing movies, ...
But most of all, I enjoy meeting people, different people - culture - way of life ... and spend just one hour with them (or more)...
I had my first expatriated professional experience as humanitarian job in Haiti as volunteer(2007-2009), and it is a big change in my life. I continue on.

PHILOSOPHY

Respect and sharing development

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been hosting quite a lot of couchsurfers. Sometimes I need privacy and can't welcome.
Travelling, I like to be hosted and to join the "city" groups meetings.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Johan sleeped one night in Port au Prince HAITI in my house and Eden 19 days in Toulouse FRANCE.
I have been couchsurfed by many fellows between october to december 2009 in Ecuador, Columbia and Canada
I have visited Accra - Ghana, thanks to CS who welcomed me and presented me their family and friends (Kingsley and Eben).
Since I am in Cambodia, I received many many people, and sometimes, I just feel I need some intimity and privacy. I don't want to host everyone and be considered as a hotel house. I prefer to select people who I invite home, to consider them as friends of friends since the beginning.

Interests

Let's talk first !
Or let see a movie together, or going to theater or new circus (without animals , please, I don´t like zoological parks or things like that, better seeing wild life in its own environment)
Or sharing books (in french please) ?
I love also doing massages, because I like touching everybody (but I can manage myself , don't be afraid ya ya ya)

Music, Movies, and Books

french songs, popular music, jazz swingers
books of fairy tale or documents
essay and art, author movies (well, this is the french denomination, and I don't know if it's the same in English)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Playing on a stage, singing with my choral
Misunderstanding with Haitian people and trying to get better understood ... even if it´s difficult
Saving the world, well, let´s be humble and say be part of the world and working with other humen to increase their happiness in a sustainable way for the planet.

Teach, Learn, Share

Apart of sharing traveling experiences, I prefer to share moments of common life, just talking about why you and I are living just now, what we think about life, world economy, love and relationship, my mother, your intercultural experiences ...
