Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
World tour to look for sustainable & autonomous initiatives! Let's learn about responsible behaviors and ways of living that respect Life. Global problem, local solutions. Check out our website: https://sustainable-autonomy.weebly.com
My everyday mission is to keep on living every day as a gift, one after the other without rushing nor staying behind : if you aren't walking forward you're going backards! Live each day as a gift and keeping in mind where I want to go and who I ant to be
ABOUT ME
Born in Paris from a French father and American mother (they met in the States, lived in London and raised there two children in France).
I grew up in countryside: near the forest, all around you see green, hear birds, enjoy sun during the summer, snow during winter and making piles of leaves when fall comes. Then moved to Paris suburbs: you can go out, there are plenty of things to do, see and experience!
Then studied in Lille, Paris, Itajubá (MG, Brasil).
Then moved to Aachen (NRW, Germany).
I love music : all kind of musics ; I am know it is possible something good in everything we listen to. therefore I listen to jazz and rap music, rock and electro, traditional and minimal, drum n bass and reggae, traditional funk and funk carioca, etc. I know this statement about music is true about everything and everybody : I know I can find something that moves me in each person I'll be led to meet day after day :)
I played the flute, play the guitare and instruments used in capoeira which I have been practicing and loving for years.
Of course I love traveling and would love to travel even more, I love meeting new friends and spending good times with my family and relatives...
PHILOSOPHY
Live each day as a present while keeping in mind where I want to be and who I want to be. staying free and open-minded by never forgetting that everything is possible since if there is a problem there is a solution ; if there are not any solutions : there ain't any problem!
Keeping on building who I am and growing thanks to people I'll meet, thanks to experiences I'll live, thanks to the love I'll share, the ways of thinkings I'll exchange with those I'll meet on my path.
I sometimes see life as a puzzle ; we receive different pieces with everything we experience hoping that by the end of our life's day the ultimate picture will be something coherent, beautiful and that you can be proud of.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I want to participate by receiving as many couch surfers as possible and by living as many incredible experiences as I can in order to motivate everyone I'll meet and will talk about CS to make this network live and work. I want to believe in the spirit of CS, a spirit that brings individuals closer and weakens those frontiers and limits geography, fear, political and financial interest have built between all of us so we, all different, can speak as one :)
