About Me

CURRENT MISSION

enjoying life at its fullest, discovering this amazing planet, being a bit nonsense from time to time...

ABOUT ME

You may say I'm a dreamer but I'm not the only one..
I'm also a dynamic and enthousiastic person, in love with life.

PHILOSOPHY

"Il faut prendre le temps d'observer, ne pas cotoyer sans voir, ne pas effleurer sans saisir, ne pas cueillir sans sentir, ne pas pleurer sans aimer ou hair".

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I spread the word. I like sharing this exciting discovery with my friends and the people I meet.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Only just started.. but it's been fantastic so far and every day I get more convinced that CS is the real place where people can connect and share experiences in a respectful and caring way. It's one of the best inventions made so far, which implies real exchange and sharing, and gives you the opportunity to change the world or your own little piece of it!

Interests

Too many.. I really don't know where to start from. Let's say that I love Art, architecture, cinema, theatre, listening to good music (better if in live concerts), eating good food (especially when sharing a meal with friends), TRAVELLING (let's not forget to mention this..), dancing, nature, reading,discovering new places, learning languages...as for sports: cycling anywhere, swimming (possibly in the sea or lakes), horseriding, canoeing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Giant sequoias in California, little sprouts blossoming in my garden, sunset in Manhattan from up above, my cat purring, changing seasons and golden wine crops in Burgundy, bathing in a frozen lake after a Finnish sauna, walking in the night from St. Germain to Eiffel tower singing, picnic in an olive grove at Midnight with Prosecco and raspberry cake..

Teach, Learn, Share

What could I teach.. let's see.. some French maybe through poetry or songs, English but that'll probably flow naturally anyway while chatting away, how to make a delicious Tiramisù or your favourite Risotto..

Learn: I love languages and I die for learning some sentences in your language, maybe some idiomatic expressions.. I'm not a very athletic person but I'd love to learn any new sports you might be good at or why not martial arts..

Share: a laugh, hiking together in these beautiful surroundings, a lunch, a dinner together.. maybe exchange the specialties of our cuisines (risotto vs. couscous, Italian wine vs French rouge...).
