About Me

Hi ! Thanks for consulting my profile !
I quit my job in September 2014, i sold my stuff, i left my flat & my family for realizing a round-the-world trip !!!
That's the most amazing decision i had to take in my life.
No regrets ! It's the best thing ever.

This trip teaches me a lot about the world, and also about ME.
I am somebody easy-going, reliable, kind, serious, i like listening to people and know more about them.
I trust smiling people as i think smile is the mirror of the soul. ^^

As i quit and left everything for travelling ; i can not host anyone !
For now i am mostly a couchsurfer.

You can know more about me and my trip on my Facebook page :

WOMAN ON TOUR (mostly french)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Thanks to my trip i realized i love meeting new people all around the world.
It's so important to discover new cultures, new way of thinking, new way of being...
and to share my own experience. I want to have deep and full of kindness experiences with people from all around the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

i did a BUNGY JUMP - 160 mts high from a bridge (one of the highest spot) in Nepal... So scaring... but so gorgeous as well ^^

Teach, Learn, Share

I did some volunteering in a school in Cambodia. I teached english with a Khmer teacher to kids... It was only for a few days but i felt so much love from the kids and i had such a huge and deep emotion sharing love & luck with the kids.
Now i plan to do another experience like this in south america...

Since i did also a meditation retreat - i feel deeply in love with bouddhism.
I learn how SHARING our knowledge, our love, our luck to everyone is the best thing ever. I do believe in it.

I like cooking so, taking cooking classes is a enjoyable time for me.
I want to learn and practice spanish, italian, japanese and chinese.
I don't know if my life will be long enough ;-)

What I Can Share with Hosts

If i can host you, i want you to fall in love with my french culture, with my loved-Paris, and also with our french gastronome.
We do have an amazing gastronome and as i am a good cooker i want to cook for you a traditional meal. I am used to do my own home-bread... you will enjoy it !
It will be a pleasure for me to show you my city explaining you the history, the best places to be and to hang out with you.
If you need help organizing your trip, i will be there also for you.
