Why I’m on Couchsurfing

After one year in South-Korea, a few months in Italy and several travels here and there, I met people from all around the world and discovered many things about me, people and life generally speaking thanks to these experiences. Now that I'm back in France, I would like to keep on with these very rewarding exchanges as I am still eager to meet new people and discover new way of thinking and living! It should be interesting to do it now from my own country and help others discovering it :-)

My schedule is often changing and I hardly know where I will be more than 2weeks-1 month in advance. But if I can't always host, I'll still be glad to meet to have a drink, chat and/or visit some places depending where I am at the moment.

Interests

Culture and art (hey, of course, I am a paper conservator!). I like drawing and painting even if I am not practising a lot these days, Asian ink painting and calligraphy in particular. Lately I am also interested in Persian golden illuminations and miniatures paintings!

Music and dances, traditional/ folk ones in particular. But I also like to dance on electro or listen to classical music, so..!

Literature, isnt'it great to travel with your mind? And I especially like novels and heroic fantasy!

Some outdoor activites like hiking as I am now living near the beautiful chaine des Puys y Sancy massif, horse riding or lastly climbing.
