CURRENT MISSION: Discover the world

ABOUT ME

I'm energetic and positive. I live my life 100%. I grew up in nature with a pure way of life.
I have been working in tourism and really want to discover local culture away from touristic spots. From my point of view couchsurfing is a way to share moments and experiences with locals. Therefore, it's a best way to travel.
Quite new in couchsurfing, so let's go =).

PHILOSOPHY: Carpe Diem

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first couchsurfing experience was in Grenoble in the Alps when I was looking for a job in skiing stations 3 years ago. We had a great time with Heloise speaking about life.

I hosted Larissa from Brazil in Paris this year. Great night in a little pub listening to a canadian pop artist =) Nice to speak about ecology, sustainable development and travel!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My most beautiful memory was in Niger. It was very amazing to see local people living with basic things, joy and smile. I enjoyed smells and colors of little markets around the country and the majesty of the river Niger.

Istanbul is my favorite city! A lot of bars are situated on rooftop. At every street corner you can find a beautiful mosque. The cultural atmosphere is very intense.

I have prefered Costa Rica for wildlife, tropical forest, reggae place, surf and pura vida!!

I think that my trip to Antigua and Lac Atlitlan, in Guatemala, is one of my best adventure. I had already spent 3 month in Costa Rica, and had to leave to renew my visa, so I went 5 days to Guatemala without credit card and with 400 USD in my shoes. I travelled alone and I never met so many people! I spent my 21st birthday overthere and enjoyed it like never before!! Culture and handicraft are worth a visit.
