About Me

CURRENT MISSION

discover, learn, play, enjoy life!

ABOUT ME

I have been living abroad for the past 12 years (strudying in Wales, Germany, Netherlands, working in Italy and US) and am currently living in the Maine, USA.
Leaving abroad is amazing. Obviously i sometimes miss France (who wouldn't miss such an amazing country?) but there is so much to see abroad! New people, new experiences!

I am finishing a one year sabbatical where I worked on building my Tiny House and travel to Asia. I am now rediscovering France, last bits of fun before heading back to work :).

The rest you can discover through couch surfing... but you'll probably find out that I am curious about new cultures, customs and people. Always interesting in something new!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted when living in Italy a few years ago, I participated to a few couch surfing meetings and was hosted a few times during my trip through Asia.

I like to share time with my hosts or guests, share a home cooked meal is the best, whoever cooked it, I am always happy to help there too :)

Interests

everything! :)
most sports (even those I don't know), running, paddleboarding, cooking and eating, Scuba Diving

I want to get back into martial arts (I shortly practiced Savate (french kick boxing) a few years ago).

  • dancing
  • cooking
  • music
  • surfing
  • scuba diving
  • sports
  • boxing
  • languages

Music, Movies, and Books

I like music, movies, books... but I have no defined gender (quite eclectic).
I like people to give me advice about this!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Not sure if anything is that amazing but:

- I bought a Tiny House on wheels and I've been leaving in it for a few months.
- I took a one year sabbatical to build that house and travel through asia for 4 months.
- I hiked and bathed with Elephants in Thailand (but lots of people do that nowadays... not so amazing maybe)
- I helped a guy in Japan build his own Yurt, and enjoyed a spa (onsen) almost every evening for a week.
- I hung out with a fellow Chinese teacher of a couchsurfer who was looking for English speakers to meet his pupils in a remote Chinese village, so I hung out with his kids for a few hours, so much fun!
