About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy Life and Discover the world!:)

ABOUT ME

Never stops!!^^ Yes, I like experiencing a lot of things, meeting new people, traveling around the world. I am very active; never say no to play some sport and try a new activity!!:D
I like to think I am open minded and tolerant. I really enjoy the mix of culture and share mine with others while they make me discover theirs. I am friendly and sensitive. People are my oxygen. I cannot live without them and would fell severely depressed from loneliness (no, I am not like the guy in "Into the Wild"!!^^).

PHILOSOPHY

I like to make the most of life, make people happy and discover the world.Don't Here are some quotes that particularly inspired me and I am happy to share it with you!:)
"They didn’t know it was impossible so they did it"
"A smile does not cost anything but produces so much/ It enriches those who receive it without impoverishing the one who gives it/ It last only a moment/ But its memory may last forever."
"If you want to go quickly, go alone, but if you want to go far, go together"
"It is time to start living the life you’ve imagined"
"Stay hungry. Stay foolish"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Since I have arrived in Canberra 2 months ago, I have been to almost all the weekly Couchsurfing meetings!!^^ And i really enjoyed it. Couchsurfers are great ans many of them have become very good friends. I have moved recently to a house and look forward to hosting my first couchsurfers. In the meanwhile, I am discovering the joy of travelling and surfing! I am wondering why I have not been on couchsurfing earlier. It is awesome!

Interests

I like being useful and acting toward making the world a better place to live! That is how life makes sense for me! That is why I got involved in a humanitarian association called Manana Juntos in high school and then lead a social entrepreneurship project in Togo in 2013.
I also enjoy playing sport. I have been playing tennis in competition since I am 5 but have played many other ones for a shorter period (I am fond of softball, volleyball, soccer, ultimate frisbee... :)). I am playing the piano and love dancing (particularly French rock and salsa!). It is so relaxing. I enjoy spending time with friends, for a chat, a drink, a night out or anything they propose me actually!!:) And of course, I love travelling and backpacking!!:D
