CURRENT MISSION

Enjoying my newfound roots in Bretagne /Brittany while still meeting people from all over the world

ABOUT ME

I'm a batty, clumsy and funny person. I have been loving traveling and discovering new people from all cultures and walk of life for as long as I can remember, way before I was able to communicate in a foreign language.

I’ve moved to Brittany three years ago, I live in a very peaceful hamlet near a small village, between Redon and Vannes in Morbihan. It is a beautiful are and very popular amongst Frenchies ! I am retraining to become a yoga teacher and after completing my training last year, I will give some classes in my village. I’m trying to make yoga accessible for all. I love hiking, especially in the mountains (so not exactly next door…) and the sea, to have a swim or go surfing. I enjoy going out for a concert or a movie, and conferences - I am in activist spheres especially around feminism and ecology.

Before that I used to live in Paris, working on missions for various NGOs, and I also worked in that field in New Zealand and Amsterdam.

PHILOSOPHY

"Hey Jude, don't make it bad, take a sad song, and make it better...don't carry the world, upon your shououououlders"

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Since I moved to NZ, I am active in the couchsurfing community, and I have been organizing a few language exchanges in Auckland. Being back in Europe, I've kept on participating in CS, though having less time for it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was first a member of hospitality club, and I have hosted people in France and been a guest in Italy. In NZ, I met amazing people through CS events. I love the idea behind couchsurfing of sharing and discovering.

Интересы

I like to ride escalators up and down. I like to hitch hike the parisian metro (although drivers don't always get it). I love eating but I don't know how to eat like a lady...I love reading books, but only if there're printed. I love movies, especially the ones where they talk a lot.

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

When I saw a whale in French Polynesia. I just had my head under the water, and the rest of my body in the dinghy. I felt so awestruck I didn't take time to take some air in my lungs, and after a bit underwater I realized I had to go up to breathe. But it was hard to take my eyes off the whale and her little one, just 20 meters away...

Учу, учусь, делюсь опытом и информацией

I play some piano, and sing along (off tune) with my friends. I can make mean crepes and pain perdu (french pancakes and posh french toast). I knit a bit. I love mountain sports. I can teach some animal dance moves, the frog/chicken/furret dance being my personal best.
