About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To learn, to live and to forget

ABOUT ME

Eating strawberries and being at a professional meeting with the same honesty and thirst of learning,driving a child on a seesaw and making a chocolate cake with the same sweet tooth and unconcern...Laughing everyday to be more and more happy.And awakening my consciousness with no limits.I recently graduated with Master in Architecture and a specialization in sustainability. It's really my passion. I am convinced that we should be less human-centered and more in connection with our natural environments. My life is very active but very energy-exchange focused. I eat organic food, I cook everyday, I take care of the garden, I have a drink with a friend. I love the day as well as the night even if night life makes me wandering in my problematics, then discussions and warmth come along...

PHILOSOPHY

To open my eyes before to give an opinion...
To care about people and everything even and especially the small details.
Everything is about stories and consciousness...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

It's THE real experience of life, people generosity, spontaneity by excellence !!! I love people but CS is special.
CS is the way to be part of every country crossed and loved. I want to go beyond the boundaries of the tourist attitude and the visitor sight, I want to be on the other side and CS allows me to go through these limits in 5 minutes.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Matthieu (best friend) : "Noémie, you should CS, it's super exciting and amazing experiences !!!" I let me convinced and begin to understand why.... !
Priceless.
