Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Finish my M.Sc. in Environnental Management :)
ABOUT ME
I'm a dreamy and curious person :)
I enjoy traveling, discovering new places and cultures, meeting new people and sharing experiences with them ! I would visit all the world if I could... In the last years, I've lived one year in Brazil (Recife, PE), and spent 3 months in Australia (Perth).
I'm now back to Montpellier for the last year of my M.Sc. in Environmental Management, so that I don't have so much time at the moment!
I am passionate about marine environment, and I want to work in Marine Ecology area (I'm particularly interested in ecological restoration). One of my dreams is crossing an ocean on a sailboat :)
Cycling and walking are my favourite transports (on land). Another of my dreams is crossing the France hiking (going from Montpellier, to my grandparents place near Tours) !
PHILOSOPHY
Il en faut peu pour être heureux ! :)
Try to always think positive !
You don't need travel very far to make a discovery. There could be an adventure just on the other side of the door !
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Bringing a smile and a ear to listen to the wonderful life stories of the people I meet :)
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I was arriving in Perth for a 3 month volunteering, I didn't have anywhere to live and didn't know anyone!
Hosted at a colleague's house, where I wasn't really welcome, it was pretty dull... when Claire (my CS host) called me : more than give me a place to stay for 3 days, she really helps me to find my feet and gave me the force to face and to enjoy my new life :D
More than a couch, I have discovered a lovely person and a true friend :)
Interests
Marine environment activities : walking on the beach, swimming, scuba diving, sailing... I should have been a fish in another life :)
On land, I love hiking and camping in the nature, walking for many days and enjoy my environment and the landscapes. I can't stay inside when I can be outside !
I'm curious about the diferent ways of living and thinking. For example in Brazil I've discovered Capoeira, more than a sport : a culture and a philosophy ! I've also meet with the Xukuru brazilian tribe, and had the opportunity to participate of some of their cults.
I like to listen to music from everywhere, and I like discover new kind of musics !
