About Me

CURRENT MISSION

make the world more fun and easy to discover

ABOUT ME

Originally Parisian, I fell in love with Bordeaux by chance, where I belong to now. After graduating and working as a stage actor I took back my studies, which led me to Santa Cruz, California and I am now working in Mendoza for the fantastic bodega "Altos Las Hormigas"!

PHILOSOPHY

We are lucky people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Making portraits from people I meet, hosting when possible, baking them fantastic banana cookie, trying to make ideas travel... along with people!

Hacer retratos de la gente, recibir cuando puedo, cocinar y tratar de ayudar las ideas a viajar... al mismo tiempo que la gente!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All the experiences I had were always suprising and surpassed my expectancies! People who participate in this programm are generally open-minded, trustful and warm-hearted. We have to do our best to maintain this quality of commitment in the community! Discovering so many other cultures and good people all over the world makes optimistic!

Cada experiencia que tuve fue una fuente de sorpresas y una maravilla! La gente que participa en CS es generalmente generosa, abierta, curiosa y confiable. Descubrir tan buena gente alrededor del mundo vuelve optimista!

Interests

I like theater, photography, art in general, endless talking at night ...I STRONGLY like food, discovering new tastes, cooking with friends... good wine of course, which I love to share as well as to try! :) (I'm think I'm not far from being a typical French :D)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I have encountered during my travels where probably people. Whereas you leave seeking for a landscape, you often end up finding a friend.

La cosa más fantastica que he descubierto durante mis viajes es probablemente la gente. Cuándo uno va para visitar un lugar o ver un paisaje, muchas veces encuentra un amigo.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love teach my language, love to explain my culture -with the necessary amount of humor, some recipes, I would like to improve my Italian skills, but i also love to practice German when I have the opportunity!

Enseñar mi idioma me encanta, y también explicar mi cultura, compararla, con el humor necesario, recetas... Quisiera mejorar el idioma italiano y estoy muy feliz cuando puedo hablar un poquito de alemán.
