About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I travel through south central and north america for a year with my husband.

ABOUT ME

SO...I was born in France in october 1976, ...bla bla bla...
I am someone little dreamy, sometimes a little bit introvert, but who likes meeting new persons and making party among friends!
I think than I have a good sense of humour!

My life:
I usually make seasonal job, in restaurants, what gives me time to travel.
I've been working in geneva (switzerland) for 3 years, then Ireland for 7 month where I met Ben (my husband now!)...we leaved in Sydney for 2 years, he is australian. Now we started a now extanded journey through all americas.
One of the most importante things for me during this adventure is too meet many differents people, cultures, educations...that why I think than the couchsurfing is a interesting option!

PHILOSOPHY

Some sitations to summarize my current spirit:

"A journey of 1000 km always begins with a 1st step"(Lao-Tseu)

"The real exploratory expedition does not consist in looking for new landscapes, but in having a new glance" (Marcel Proust)

"Very often the adventure of some, is only the everyday life of the others"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We will be back in france in few months, probably near switzerland or south of france and I can't wait to have my own appartement to host people from around the world...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

NOTHING!but I like the concept.I am really excited has the idea to live with local people, it is a total dumping in the way they live, and should be very enriching!
I shall welcome certainly hosts in my apartment when I shall be back to France, if I come back!

I've already stayed in hill-tribes families during a treck in Thaïland....it was a wonderfull experience!

We hosted a few friends from differents country when we were in Sydney but not via couchsurfing because we were living in my husband's family house.

Interests

I like:
*Meet peoples, as I've already said.
*I have a real passion for the photography, it is moreover the job which I would have liked studying if teatchers was kind enough of me!
*I like the evenings among friends! But the quiet evenings in the sofa are not bad also!
*I am not a big sportswoman, but I like the hike, or go cycling, horseback riding.

I do not like:
*people who take themselves too much in seriously!
*I hate the routine!
*the post offices
*wall cupboard with brooms

Music, Movies, and Books

I am not a Tv addicted...I use to watch documentaries.
I like the films of suspense, with reversal of situations as "le 6ème sens","un homme d'exception", "je vais bien ne t'enfais pas", "saw"...

I listen quite a lot of styles of music, except RAP.

I like reading thrillers, scienc fiction books...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I get married the 05/11/2011.

Teach, Learn, Share

The photography: I can give some basic advice, share my passion, and I still have a lot of to learn .
