CURRENT MISSION

Whatever happens, do everything to walk away with a big grin on our face and make sure to never get bored.

ABOUT ME

Hi, Hola, Salut, I'm Marlyse, I'm a smiley girl, small but with a strong personality :) What else about me...well I'm 31 look 21 (YEAHHH that's pretty cool), was living in London for the past 3 years and I enjoyed it so much! Because of the musical scene, the architecture, cosmopolitan city, there is always loads of things to do or someone to meet to never get bored. Obviously I love travelling and learn about the others otherwise I would not be writing my couchsurf profile right now! Oh and I forgot about the weather ;)
I love Cinema, going back to the countryside where I grew up in France, and I always wanted to go to Peru, see the Machu Picchu and get a Lama... I've never got the lama but my amazing family bought me a ticket! For the rest, let's meet one day somewhere in the world, let's have a coffee...ah you don't drink coffee, ok just let's meet and talk about it!

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live. Life is short and tough but in the meantime amazing so let's enjoy every second of it and have a good laugh right now!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I was living in London we hosted in our happy and warm shared flat people from everywhere in the world. I loved the experience and I decided to couchsurf myself while I am travelling. I think it is the best way to know a country, a culture and meet open minded people.

Interests

Anything to keep some sparks in my eyes and a smile on my face every day. Meeting people from others countries, with different life experience. I love anything new that can make me grow up, open my mind or just amaze me. It can be art, music, just go to a nice place lost in the countryside and forage ;) , or a chat with people met anywhere in the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Snorkeling in Colombia in Parque Tayrona...I could spend hours in the water watching the sea life, it is just stunning how Mother nature can make such beautiful colors, fishes, plants...pfff, I still can`t believe it!

In India, we caught a train but we realised that it was the wrong one. Some people (on the way to a wedding) found a way to make us catch the right one, they took a bus, a tuk-tuk, a car with us to finally arrived at the right station (after a 4 hours journey) and they waited with us until the train leaves (was 2 hours late at least).
