About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to find a good bakery

ABOUT ME

With a little bit of experience on couchsurfing, you realize that a few lines are definitely too short to get a clear idea of a person, but let's try...

People usually say that I'm very naive, and too optimistic, maybe because I smile a lot...I don't think I'm naive, I just understand things slowly. And I'm not optimistic, I just try to live happy and curious !

I enjoy spending time with people as much as walking by myself in the mountains. I love to talk and share ideas when I'm talking to someone personally, but I usually don't feel comfortable in group discussions.

PHILOSOPHY

There is no way to happiness, happiness is the way.
