CURRENT MISSION Sharing ABOUT ME I can seem reserved at first sight but I love hearing stories, learning things from people and discovering different ways of life and thinking. I like to be someone you can count on, trying to make people's day brighter. I'm very curious and always hungry for some good food ! PHILOSOPHY "It's not because things are difficult that we don't dare, it is because we do not dare that they're difficult."

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING Right now i can't offer to host as i'm living in a small shared apartment wih no common room except from the kitchen. Looking forward to meet people visiting Strasbourg though ! COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I went to some meet ups in England, Los Angeles and Prague and surfed and traveled with CSers for couple days when in LA. Three of the people i met thanks to CS in LA have become friends overtime. I visited them during my trip in 2022-2023. During this same trip, i couchsurfed a few times and have been lucky enough to make friends while traveling. I was rescued by a very nice couple in Albuquerque last spring who welcomed and hosted me after a previous night freezing in the car in the desert mountains of NM. I have hosted a couple people travelling through Compiègne, where i used to live a few years ago.
Music, Movies, and Books
I listen to every type of music and enjoy most movies except horror movies or violent ones. My favorite writer is Haruki Murakami. I also like Muriel Barbery, Marie NDiaye, EE Schmitt (french authors). I love short stories because they always have a strong message to tell.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Traveling the Himalayas , on the snowy roads and being hosted by some very nice nuns in their gompa. Going back to college at 35 yo and loving all of it ! Going for therapy and discovering what a wonderful thing the brain is.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach french and a little bit of coooking beacuse I LOVE cooking (and eating good things too!). I'm always up for learning so bring it on ! Sharing is the first thing when you surf or host so let's share what we agree to discover from one another.
What I Can Share With Hosts
I love cooking and outdoors activities so i can cook you a vegetarian recipe after a long walk :-)
My Interests
I've been practising yoga for height years and it's helped me a lot to slow down, enjoy moments and meetings all the more since the unexpected ones are often the best ones ! Listening to music, cooking vegetarian recipes, practising yoga, meditating, going to the movies, learning, hearing/reading stories from new people, drinking tea, watching wildlife, enjoying the sound of nature and learning are my ways to enjoy life and be grateful for it.
