About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Settling down in a place I like and keep on travelling

ABOUT ME

About me, I like simple things of life, walking in the nature, taking pictures of flowers, that feeling when you wake up with the sunrise when camping in the mountains, walking under the rain, singing out of loud when I'm alone, be quiet, be crazy, taking my time, silence, take off on an unexpected trip, surprises, coffee, meeting new people, cooking cakes for my friends, being happy, being sad too, caring for the others, I like kids a lot, reading poems, staring at the firewood, observing the wonder of natures, listening to ethnic music and jazz, forget time....

I like to meet new people, chat with them, share our experiences and conversations about life. People I meet usually say I am very sociable. But I also like to take time for myself, doing things independently.

I lived in France where I was born. I lived in Canada for one year, where I made French pancakes and worked in a coffee shop (it was fun!), I lived in London for one year and I have been in China these last years. I did many kind of jobs, I started I was 15 and never stopped since. I like to do new things and never stop learning.
I like to learn languages. The countries I like the most so far are Mongolia, Japan , Canada, and China (although many people are reluctant to this country, I lived there and I can explain you why!).

Now I live in Taiwan where I teach French and study performing arts!

PHILOSOPHY

"La vie ne vaut rien mais rien de vaut une vie."
"Life is worth nothing but nothing is worth a life." !!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I started to host people when I lived in Dali, Yunnan, China, last year. I lived in a big house and at the time of Chinese New Year, within two weeks, I hosted about 20 people! That was a little crazy but we had a wonderful time and a lot of fun!
I go to the CS events regularly. Hope to meet you there one day!
