Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I want to use CS as a way to meet people I would have never met without it. I'd love to host people, but my flat is definitely too small, so I will wait for the next one (hoping it will be bigger) to do that! But I'd love to go and have a drink with travellers in Lyon and to show them my city during a day or a week-end.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
All of my hosting experiences thus far have been delightful, but a few highlights include trying to mix up powdered kava for 6 in our kitchen, rock climbing around Diamond Bay, my first ever Thanksgiving, the craziest birthday ever (300 balloons in my bedroom and a champagne shower - thanks Sandy, Marije, Bill and Derrick!), and a snowstorm of foam beans in our apartment.
Interests
Since I saw the movie "Motorcycle diaries" I've been dreaming of travelling through South America. I haven't been there yet but this is just a question of time! I love watching and listening movies and musics from and about this area (unfortunatly for my sister who doesn't really share my musical taste). I like to draw to be relaxed and run to empty my mind. As an island girl, i love going to the beach, transform myself into a lezard and lay down on the sand under the sun. I love spending time with my friends of course, being with my wonderful sister, going out, sleeping, cooking, eating, joking, laughing ... etc

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Travelled South America on my own for 10 months. Biggest adventure of my life so far, so many great experiences including: saw a whooping 10 shooting stars in one night in Tayrona National Park, Colombia; trekked through the stunning Cordillera Blanca in Huaraz, Peru; and swam with and got dragged by a puma through jungle trails in Parque Ambue Ari, Bolivia.
Teach, Learn, Share
TEACH
I like cook, and I'm ever motivate to prepare a good dinner for people.
I can take care of people.
Do you know the shriek of a pig when you cut the throat? (No, but you can imagine)
I can imitate that, honestly It's very ridiculous but very funny. (I can swear you after a test during an invasion cs)
If you have time to lose, hahaha!!!!
LEARN
I want to improve my English, and I hope you won't make fun out of mine.
I've learned spanish during 6months alone and I'm really happy to speak well now! But I'm afraid a bit to lose it, so I'm lookink for people to exchange often with me in spanish. Don't hesitate!
SHARE
A lot of things!!
A good tea, a coffee, a beer, discussions, movies, books...!
I like talk about travel, I love see your pictures of travel and exchange about memories of road-trip. I like talk about South America, particulary about Colombia, my favorite country.
