About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Travel around the world for one year....discover, meet different cultures, see how the world is...somewhere else
ABOUT ME
As I reached a point where I finally had the choice, I decided to quit my job in Paris to go and realise an old dream. I left in February to go on one-year round the world trip, starting in India, going through south-eat Asia, carrying on to Canada and ending in latin America. I have a personnal writting projet, but I'm mostly keen on discovering other cultures, new places, different people...create beautifull memories and new dreams. One thing I really enjoy when it's possible is to rent a motorbike to explore a country. It gives me a feeling of freedom and allows me to get out of the main path to discover "local" places. I love being near the sea and in the nature.
PHILOSOPHY
Zero regrets (life is too fragile...).
Try and find the balance in everything.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
This site is a wonderfull opportunity to discover places through people. I hope I'll have a great experience and I can host travellers wherever I decide to settle down next year.
Interests
I used to perform in a theater compagnie that created shows for children. I love theater, danse, music, anything that deals with creation. Mostly I love words : read, written, spoken, thought, discussed...in any languages! And, of course, I love travelling, being able to open my mind to different ways of living, discovering wild places and meeting new people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Turn down a great job offer to go on this round-the-world trip by myself.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach a bit of english (at least I have the diploma for it!!), and some french. I could also show you how to practice the tibetains!
In the middle of all the things I'd love to learn: speak spanish, danse tango, paint, improve my guitar, drive a truck, create object in irons or clay, create clothes...
What I don't want to learn: extreme sports (though I'd be tempted by sky diving)
