Overview
About Me
PHILOSOPHY
“Society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in.” Anonymous Greek Proverb
CURRENT ACTIVITY
Travelling around the U.S. and Canada for a professional/personal project regarding community engagement and resolution of complex urban issues.
Taking the time to explore, meet people, discover new ways of living and learn about historical and cultural background of each place I am passing by !
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
My trips in Australia, the Netherlands, Slovenia, Quebec and the US would not have been the same without the amazing hosts I had.
Couchsurfing is def one of the greatest online tools! Althought I crashed couple of times at places of people I randomly met on the way, CS makes it less risky.
I keep being amazed about the diversity and the generosity of the people I meet on the way and the unique perspective we access thanks to the couchsurfing community !
Interests
I am a curious person and I have no doubt that the best way to know more and to obtain different perspectives on the world is to talk to people!
I am also found about cities and the way they operate but also nature (Mountains!) sports (hiking above all) discovering new types of food, cooking, photography, playing the djembé, reading... I am really flexible and a tiny thing can make my day!
