About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Life Planning, time is short

ABOUT ME

I love nature (wind,rain,vegetals and sun),wild animals and also the ones that are not wild, well LIFE!!!
My friends say I laught a lot! It is true, every situation gets a different kind of fun. I like to enjoy watching people and mosly nature in all its aspects.
I've got a lot of dreams, I want to travel all around the world, with my unusual eyes... There's a lot to say about me, and I would like to keep this with me until we meet. I could only say that I've got a good life and that I work hard to get what I want. I have not been raised with everything given, I learned to earn things without expecting much. But also, life is so good with me... luck follows me everywhere, but just for simple things and when I deserve it depending of how I live my life.

PHILOSOPHY

You can get what you want! If you work hard enough for it... I have a particular vision about human beings but I sometime have faith in human kind. We must just listen to ourselves. Respect the environment, think and talk about it! We must fight if we want to earn a couple of decades.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I tell anyone that seems to fit the profile of CS. I host only a bit, I cannot accomodate anytime. When I was travelling and somebody was picking me up in hitch-hiking and they seemed interested in the way I travel, I just talked about it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been hosted in Iceland and I've met people from this site. We are curently hosting a few people only in Montreal.
Also one CS experience in Managua, Nicaragua with this Great MAN!

Interests

Sports ( I do a little bit of bouldering and climbing, I love hicking, kayak and horseback riding ) Animals ( I grew up with horses, cats, dogs, pigs and chicken) I'll have these too and more when I'll get my own part of land in a couple of years... you'll be welcome!
Music, I just LOVE music.

Music, Movies, and Books

I just started to read by interest, I always had to for school, but never did for myself. I also know that for what I want to accomplish, I need these informations.
I love Ani DiFranco, Xavier Rudd, Michael Franti, Atmosphere (thanks to J-Math) also.... Sigùr Ross, Cake, Deus, Johnny Cash (thanks to Chris) also... Cat Empire, Lauryn Hill and the old so good stuff... Led Zepplin, Nirvana, Pink Floyd, Genesis, CCR, Eric Clapton, Janis Jopplin, Aerosmith, Metallica, Live, Pearl Jam) and lot more.
Movies... I like all kind. I just discovered one, watch 11th hour from Leonardo DiCaprio, really well done. OH! Watch. I love Huckabees, weirdly interesting. You can learn a lot from it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In Iceland, I bathed in hot water between American and European tectonic plates. Thanks to Marco!! (Bjarni Arason)
Also climbed ACTIV, a huge sailing boat that is right now next to Greenland taking carots of deep ocean's soil.
I swam into a lake of a volcano, warm enough but scary (we heard the volcano breath) Maybe... ''Cheminées hydrothermales''
Still in Iceland, I helped to move 60 free horses to an other field, close to death, but I learned a lot.

Teach, Learn, Share

This is all about interaction (culture)... I want to be a teacher as profession. Always have been in my own way. I taught horseback riding to some kids in Iceland while taking lessons from one of the most important breeder. Sharing is what I do. I always try to help, sometimes, it is not welcome. I love to learn by communication.
