About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To Be Happy, To Be Curious, To Travel, To Love

ABOUT ME

I'm 31 from Brittany, France. Lived in Montreal for 5 years, traveled around the US for 3 months, back in France preparing my move to Firenze.

Jeweler

I'm trying everyday to open myself to new things and new people. I cherish life.
I'm a smiling person, and people worry when I don’t . This is me, a big smile.

I don't smoke. (don't be fooled by my profile picture :)

If you’re on my profile for any other purpose than find a couch or make new friends, please don’t message me.
I’m not on Couchsurfing to find a relationship, I already found the one. :)

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy life when life offers you joy and happiness.

Try to improve myself , trying to be a better human being. To give more.

Learn from others. I want to nourish myself with the world, to grow wiser.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Got couch surfing experiences in the past, most were on my friend's couch and some through the couchsurfing website, some without. I love to sleep on a couch, because it means "unexpected plan".

Couchsurfing helped me travel differently. You discover the world thanks to people who are kind enough to welcome you and let you be part of their life for a short period. And this is such a beautiful experience.
Couch surfing is a fabulous human experience where you go beyond your fears and concerns to meet and share with others.

We live in a world that is telling us that we must fear and despise others we don't know. What if we go towards people, so we ain't afraid of the world anymore.

Interests

I love to discover, it can be anything. I'm happy to learn from others.

I love sports, and any physical activities but I need a lot of motivation to go out because I’m an introvert and like the comfort of my own company.

I like to draw sometimes, to read. I love traveling, cycling, walking, hiking, climbing, nature, arts, DIY, handmade products...everything which make your brain free and fill your inner self of joy.

When I was in Taiwan, I was in a Dragon boat team (dragon boat is the traditional sport of Taiwan, kind of rowing)

I like food and I like to cook and learn from others new recipes and tips. Food is one of the best way to share, learn from others and about a country.

I like fashion, as I think to get dressed is a game and is a statement of who you are. Depending on my mood, I like to change my style.

I love to be with people, and just listen to conversation, without saying a word. But my social battery is limited and some point i like to be alone to recharge.
But I also enjoy being on my own, reflect or read for hours.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

24 h boat ride on the Amazon river, sleeping in a hammock.

I've attended the Olympic games in Beijing, in 2008.

My experience when I was 5 years old when I went with my mom to Martinique (West Indies). We spend 1 month and a half, discovering the country in the best way ever. I didn't realize before, but I think that trip made me love traveling.

Studied a year in Taiwan and met some amazing persons. Trained for a dragon boat competition

Swam in Norwegian fjord.

Ran the Midnattsloppet (10km run in the streets of Stockholm, at night)

Enjoyed the midnight sun.

Drove from the US east coast to the west coast and back ( and experienced many cool stuff and landscapes)
