ABOUT ME

Hello, Hola, Bonjour ! :)

Always a bit complicated to describe oneself in a few sentences.

My name is Cecile. I used to be a French Teacher in Vancouver, BC. Life is changing all the time and I like seizing new opportunities and taking new paths, so I'm reconverting myself in a Web Editor now.

I grew up in the countryside of Cognac area of France, in a small town called "flower" in French and surrounded by vineyards. My family makes cognac.

I used to travel in Europe, North America, South America and Southeast Asia. I love discovering new places and meeting people.

I love chocolate, fruits, wine, kayaking, rafting, traveling, and simple things of life and those little moments that provide thrills and chills.

By doing Couchsurfing I hope meeting great people from all around the world, sharing with them and learning from them.

I need to surround myself with people I love and feel helpful.

My goal: enjoying life, having an amazing career, being happy, publish a novel I'm writing.
My dream: traveling all around the world by boat (sailboat).

PHILOSOPHY

"Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever"
Gandhi

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love meeting people from all around the world, and hosting them at home.
Couchsurfing is an awesome opportunity to make new friends.
Everyone needs couchsurfers a day, somewhere, and any couchsurfer needs a place to stay, someday, somewhere.
Open doors and heart ! :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first couchsurfer was from Finland. Because he was an awesome guy I meant to continue hosting people.
My second one was from New-York. My third one from Colombia. And I've met travelers from all around the world : Australia, Canada, China, Columbia, England, Ireland, Poland, US.
Couchsurfing is more than a good way to host someone or to sleep somewhere.
It's an awesome opportunity to get a world family !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The Grand Canyon at sunrise WAW ! :)
I've found some dinosaurs bones and a fossilized egg 8-)
On Christmas Eve couple of years ago I saw a huge sparkling ''thing'' falling down the sky. It was not a shooting star but a Russian rocket falling from space, burning in the atmosphere.... and it was very impressive!!
I left France for a couple of month to travel in Canada, and I never came back.
