About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Go with the flow

ABOUT ME

My friends who are still in France told me they are missing my happiness, my smile and my positivism. Most of the time, I am smiling and I like having a good laugh. I see the glass half full. I can be really quiet or just bursting of laugh at my own jokes that nobody can understand beside me. I am more a listener than a talker.
Starting the 1st of June: I will start my around the world run pilgrimage. I am planning to travel with the help of CS during 426 days accross USA, Europe, Asia, Oceania and South of America.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Just doing what I am doing: hosting, meeting, being a guest.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am not new at Couchsurfing. I did host a couple of times and surfed as well.
So far, so good.

Interests

For 2 years, I am really into running. So far, with friends, we runned 3 half marathons, 2 barathon (6 beers in 6 miles), a red dress run (everybody wears a red dress), a monster dash run (everybody wear a Halloween costume), the warrior dash (run into the mud, jump obstacles in fire...) and the last but not thleast 1 marathon. Running is something which makes me alive and feeling good about myself.

I am a big reader and I can't go without a book in my back. My favorite author is Paulo Coelho. He really inspires me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In Australia, on the beach, I met Salim, one of my friends in High School. I did not have seen him for ages, and we fell on each other arms on a beach in Australia, zillions miles away of our home town. It was really crazy

I saw 5 sharks on my first dive. It was really scary.

I drank a lot of beers when I was in Germany for a year. It was really tasty.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: how to dread your hair, caraibeen cooking, speaking french.

Learn: everything possible.

Share: a good cooking, a good laugh, a good attitude, a good discussion.
