About Me

CURRENT MISSION

SMILE TO LIFE AND LIFE WILL SMILE BACK AT YOU

ABOUT ME

I love helping people and talking for hours on end, I see myself as being generous and a good-listener, I have a good-sense of humor and can be completely crazy at times!!! I don't open myself so easily but I am a true and reliable friend. I'm open-minded, caring and easy-going even though I can be sad at times, life is too short to be bothered by anything. Let's travel around, meet incredible people and discover new places!
I love watching birds, looking at clouds and stars and the appeasing silence of nature! I practice karate, bike riding, running, walking, hiking and I like badminton, table tennis, football... I've always been interested in skydiving and rock-climbing but since 2004, when I was about to cross a suspension bridge in South Africa, I got scared and am now afraid of heights!!! I enjoy all kinda music, learned to play drums when I was a high-school student. I like everything that has to do with culture and love sharing views. I love traveling, I spent a year and a half in England, 3 months in South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. I'm currently in Saltillo, in the north-east of Mexico and have been traveling to San Luis Potosi, Guanajuato, Monterrey, México D.F., Yucatán and Quintana Roo.

PHILOSOPHY

I have no idea whatsoever what I'm here on earth for but I have decided to make the most of it by traveling learning, meeting all kind of people and caring for my family, friends and like-minded people.
SHARE THE LOVE

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By sharing my optimism and good-humor. Enjoy life to the fullest!!! I'm available for meeting new friends anytime for a coffee or a four-hour long conversation!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't been "technically" couchsurfing yet...

Interests

My family and friends!!! Music like: The Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Cypress Hill, Texas, Norah Jones, Katie Melua, Sarah Vaughn, Jazz music, and above all Tracy Chapman who, I believe, doesn't need to add any music to her lyrics as they are pure poetry. I also love classic music: Ravel, Bizet, Chaikovsky, and any good rhythm.
I love writing poems and have started writing short stories.
I'm interested in politics, history, geography and mythology.
I love nature and can stay for hours sitting anywhwere just enjoying the beautiful show nature puts on everyday...

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Charlie Chaplin, Alfred Hichtcock and black and white movies in general as they seem to have much better dialogues and stories to tell compared to what we can watch or hear today. I also like German police tv series (dubbed in French!), American series like CSI and Cold Case. I also watch documentaries, I am a suscriber to the National Geographic magazine and very much enjoy reading short stories, by Ray Bradbury, and poetry. I love going to museums and exhibitions.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
