About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm kind of trying to settle down soon, hence find the cool place/moment to do so. Meanwhile I'm enjoying my time and I like being a link for my friends and new persons I meet to create mini communities full of great feelings.

ABOUT ME

Hola ! Hola !

I've been travelling for a few years, after studying tourism I thought I'll enjoy a gap year... that keeps going on !

The most important for me on my way is the people I'm surrounded with and as for all of us here I love meeting different persons from different horizons while travelling, mostly locals. And experience their lifestyle as in following them in what they do in their everyday life. I don't really care if I miss the must hike volcano as long as I'm sharing whatever with open soul people :)

PHILOSOPHY

You get what you give !
My vision of life is to enjoy every little bit by accepting and turning things as much as I can into positive.
Laughing smiling dancing !!

La vie est juste un passage eclair dans notre immense univers, je pense qu'il faut juste l'apprecier, reconnaitre les bons moments, ne jamais les oublier... Essayer de partager le plus possible
Les relations sont tres importantes pour moi: amitie, famille, amour, complicite...
Parce que sans les autres autour de nous, que ferait-on?
WE NEEDTO APPRECIATE LIFE, THE GOOD TIMES, ENJOY THE MOST AS POSSIBLE
RELATIONSHIPS ARE REALLY IMPORTANT TO ME... AND SMILE :-) !!!!

Only 2 nights in Singapore with an awesome, warm hearted man, that was 10 years ago and I still strongly remember him.

Gramatik, Sublime, the Pink Floyd, Sticky Fingers...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Crossing the Australian desert by myself and meet the Queen of the Sea in these dry lands. It was an intense, incredible trip and until then I didn't believe the big rock was powerful.
Now I can say : a woman can always go out of the red dirt but the red dirt can never go out of a woman.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you some French, help you with English, show you how to cook crepes and some Mediterranean dishes.
I could also bring you for you scuba dive introduction !

I like learning from politics in the country I'm going, the natural environment, as well as some traditional behaviours and some history.

I'm keen to learn and share conversation about many topics as in different vision of the world and society, philosophy, cultural facts... as well as activities like cooking, would like to learn better surfing, fishing, dancing : especially Latin dance !
