Philosophy

"Don't be jealous, be inspired"

"Benditos los que pueden dar sin recordar, y recibir sin olvidar"

"Don't look for pride, look for satisfaction"

"No llores porque el sol se fue, que las lágrimas no te dejarán ver las estrellas"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people, especially foreigners, to try to understand better new cultures, to learn what make us different, and how it enriches each of us. I love confronting to new points of view, to reconsider what I used to take for granted and open new perspectives of seeing the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm fascinated about flying, in every way, since I'm little. I have my paramotor (kind of paragliding with a motor cause there are no mountains where I live!) and light aircraft licence.

Also an Atlantic crossing, from France to Martinique, one a sailboat with 38 people during one month and a half.

Teach, Learn, Share

love :
- hitchhiking

- the quietness and the beauty of the  countryside
- eating healthy
- feeling alive after a good run
- doing french pancakes "flambées"
- doing sport (hiking, kayaking, sailing, swimming, basket ball, badminton...)
- flying, no matter the way, since I'm little
- taking my time
- drinking a cup of tea/beer while  watching a good movie/serie or listening to music
