CURRENT MISSION

To improve my english! To improve in kitesurfing.

ABOUT ME

Not easy to speak about myself... Still more difficult in english! Hm... They say, I'm a good listener, respectful and generous. Definetly I have quite a lot of energy (especially for outdoorstuff), am particulary uncomplicated, interested in everything and everybody, good sense for second (or third) degree humor. I love nature and healthy livestyle. I fast get bored by the routine and need sometimes new challenges / adventures. I usually wake up early to make the most of the day. In consequence sometimes lazy in the evening....(good book, 2 pages to sleep in...). I'm passionate about being around my family and friends.

PHILOSOPHY

Philosophy: Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.
We don't have endless time, so try to spend it as usefully and intensely as possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surfing and hosting. I also like to meet other couchsurfer without staying with them.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I did it in Australia several times, just wunderfull experiences. We hosted quite a lot people, mostly (but not always...) wonderfull experiences. Some of them became very close friends. Very recently Jens used my profile while travelling in France, he loved it.

Interests

Being outside, with friends and family. A perfect day would be: Getting up with my family at 6 am, surfing 2 hours (longboard) at "Trois bassins", interrupted by a coffee at the "camion bar", catching up with friends to eat together at "la petite vague", short siesta at home, being back at the beach for 4pm to play beachtennis or -volley à Boucan, sunset at the same spot, then cooking together with family and friends ("Tartare de poisson ou thon mi-cuit" + salade). After dinner moving with everybody to "la cerise" for livemusic and a "petit punch". On the other side, I don't have anything against just reading/hanging around with friends/family. They are also passionating and it's the same for my job.

Music, Movies, and Books

A lot! My fetish book is "le jardin du bossu".
Every music, but no hardrock and country.
I loved "red dog", but ordinarily I prefer french movies. I loved "le nom des gens" and "les intouchables".
I also like some series, especially "mis fits".

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1. Long time ago: Meeting Jens (had to write that in, and this in first position: he checks my profile for orthograph...).
2. Seeing growing up Zoe, Antoine and Maya. Just amazing.
3. Trying with Jens to paddle down the Rio San Juan, from Nicaragua Lake to Tortuguero, in a traditional canoe. Got in rapids, overturned...finally happy end! His idea...
4. Running the Grand Raid with even getting a good score.

Teach, Learn, Share

Experience your place and your way of life with you and not like a tourist. Same thing for you at our place. If you should be pregnant I can show you some tricks for breastfeeding! We would take you out for surfing, in the mountains or we could just hang around with some friends and talk.
