Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
I want to meet real people from different countries and to have real experiences of the local
customs. I want to discredit lies from television news often. I also want to help people in anyways and make myself useful by cultural exchange.
ABOUT ME
Born in France near Paris. My english spoken is better and better but staying poor in spainish language. No problem, I work everyday for progress. I am sociable, smiling, sometimes a little shy, as solitary as solidary. I'm very playful and loves to have fun with different people. I love also to learn about life from the countrie or the city I visit. Curious about everything, all differents, and I have some ability to adapt in every situations. I'm not difficult for culinary tastes, however, I would like to learn about local produces. Travel is a passion, the site visit is almost secondary to me, I like above all to discover the people, languages, cultures, history, life, nature, great spaces...
PHILOSOPHY
Better to learn how to be adapted for better accomodate. Respect the Nature if you want that She respect you in return. A world tour always start with a first step
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
First, I would like to travel and meet people in countries crossed, to learn life elsewhere and create affinity thereafter. Then, when my trip will be finished, I will make everythings nice for recept couchsufers in my home.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I discovered this website by reading " LE MONDE EN STOP " (the world by hitchick). It was recommanded for those who wanted to do the same king of trip. And during my travel I had the good luck to meet locals people via Couchsurfing. Not so much because of the undisponibility of hostes but enougth for think that this website can be very usefull for travelers with small budjet and big heart.
Interests
Before my travel I was gardener. One job that involves being outside at all times. So, I am an "outsideman" and i never wanted to work in offices. My interests are based on what happens in the natural world and sociocultural. I like to walk in the nature all the time (exepted if the rain is too strong). Everything concerning the foreign travel interress me now more than anything.
I have a passion for the music and I practice percussion (but not easy to take a drum in travel)
I like to find activities very simple for make few money on my way, in the street... (Macrame begginer, drum music, hand crafts...)
But the most I like is to have nice moment with local people, specialy out of big cities, and I love to feel small in gigantic wild spaces.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Life is an extraordinary adventure, somtimes down, somtimes up, but never boring. Just stay open and everything can happen.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach things like drum, or french talking... but the best exchange is in the meeting in a moment full of happiness. I feel better to share an unfogetable moment than something material. Meeting, exchanges, sharing with people for the purpose of mutual enrichment. It s essencial.
