CURRENT MISSION

Make the world a better place.

ABOUT ME

None of my friends would go as far as to call me an extrovert but I am very much a people-person. I love getting to know people - what they are interested in, where they have been, who they have been, what they think they are going to do next.

I like a good times, walks, talks, histories, museums, bars, bookstores, love stories and life stories.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

For the love of travel and people.

Centres d'intérêt

Humanity and the humanities are my playgrounds. Once upon a time I thought I was an activist. Now I think I want to write. I'd like to incorporate both in my adult life.
