About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"I want to learn more and more to see as beautiful what is necessary in things; then I shall be one of those who make things beautiful"

ABOUT ME

Very open minded person, outgoing, dedicated and also truly soulful. Standing up for my causes, becoming a better person, making history, building a life worth living!

I'm into a deep process of finding myself atm - trying to break free from the unnecessary weight of the past. I believe happiness is an attitude of mind and when you change inside, you change the whole world outside - positive thoughts are very powerful. I'm allowing myself to take every experience with open arms, feeling every single emotion - either good or bad - INTENSELY.
Everything happens for a reason and we all must be prepared for the endless waves of change.

I'm afraid of getting old so I just want to get butterflies in my stomach, get those glimpses of eternity that make you feel everything could last forever. I don't want to regret a thing.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't miss a thing! "It might kill me to keep on dreaming, but I'd rather die than throw it away".

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Younse Amari, the great little man who guided me through the desert.
Minh Kapek, the smiley guy who showed me the party side of Lille during the braderie. The most enthusiastic person ever!

Ive never really surfed a couch yet though.

Interests

Argumentation, road trips, summer breeze, sunset, the sound of waves crashing down, cultures, music, books, quotations and high feelings above all.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Usually Pearl Jam, The Beatles, Coldplay, Nirvana, Dire Straits, Audioslave, Silverchair, Elliot Smith, etc., but I can enjoy, for example, reggae in a sunny day and house music on the dancefloor, it always depends on the mood.

Movies:"Butterfly Effect", "23", "A Walk to Remember", "The Duchess"

Books: When reading a good book the clock always seems to stop so I can't just pick one :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I can say... the more I get, the more I want. I've seen beautiful things and done unforgettable stuff but there's something that has a special meaning for me: my tattoo :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm desperate to learn belly dance and I want also to improve my English and Spanish. But of course I don't mind learning something else, at all :)
