CURRENT MISSION
Live and enjoy the present time

ABOUT ME
I worked as a French & English teacher for about 10 years, which allowed me to travel and to discover & share with people from other cultures. I recently changed career : I now manage a Health & Wellness Academy and I also work as a therapist to help people get better with technics and tools taken from various complementary medicines (fasciatherapy, somatopsycho-pedagogy, nutritherapy, phytotherapy, etc.)

PHILOSOPHY
I just love humans, animals, nature, in a word our beautiful planet
Sharing and opening my mind to the always new and different beauty of the present moment!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I can host and meet people for a drink or a tour around my city.
When I travel, I prefer hanging around with autochtones who can share their culture(s), anecdotes and personal tips and experiences rather than following a general touristic guidebook

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
So far I've been hosted in London, Kiev, Riga, Cracow, Turkey, Toronto, Montréal & Vancouver by lovely people! I also hosted very nice people in Lyon during my studies and then in Ukraine and Spain when I worked there.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like latin music (salsa, bachata..) and pop-rock music (U2, Muse..)
I enjoy dramas, comedies, fantasy and sci-fi movies but I don't like horror films
I love reading classic and recent novels, biographies, but also books on psychology, spirituality, self-development, health and science

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Going whale-watching on a Zodiac on the Saint Laurent River & Pacific ocean,
- Parachute jumping above one of the most beautiful and purest lakes of France,
- Spending 3 days riding a camel in the Wadi Rum (Jordan) with a bedouin,
3 great experiences when I felt so ridiculously small and humble and at the same time so much alive and part of all this!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach French and English (that was my 1st profession and I loved it)
I like sharing & learning about health, well-being, sociology and psychology, etc
