About Me

ABOUT ME

I'm an open minded, true, honest and easy going person - well that's what I like to believe ;) I like adventures, seeing new things and meeting new people.

But that's not everything about me ;)

PHILOSOPHY

hm, tricky one as I tend to change it quite often, but it's generally turned towards tolerance and understanding.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Just starting.

Interests

A few:
-Riding a motorbike and go discover the world,
-Get to know about what makes people get up in the morning,
-Falling and getting up again, failing and trying again until I succeed,
-Also as hobbies: photography (discovered I loved it while travelling), cinema, nature (grew up in the Alps in the south of France), travelling (of course), writing (specially about emotions and music, one inspiring the other), swimming (like... a lot), snow boarding (not recently though), canyoning, rock climbing, dancing, trekking, hiking,

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Amazing thing done: riding along a road that leads to a path that leads to a trail that leads to a smaller trail that gets lost in the jungle, crosses rivers, goes up mountains and leads to an unexpected panorama in front of a see of clouds; then continuing back down, run out of petrol just after a hill tribe village and end up staying there for the night, sharing their food and their home.

- Amazing thing seen: my arms glittering as I move them in a see full of plankton, by a pitch black night away from city lights in Ostres beach, Sihanoukville, Cambodia.
