About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To write a book about childhood, based on my experience in a non-violent community

ABOUT ME

I'm a quiet girl, and crazy at the same time. I want to discover the world as much as I can, to meet all kinds of people...there is so much to do in such a short life! I work with children and I try to share my enthusiasm, show that there are so many things to do, and that everyone is able to live the life he wants...
I've met some people who have changed my life, because they made me discover that our happiness only depends on us, it's just a choice of life, a fight against fear...

PHILOSOPHY

"Je n'sais pas où je vais, oh ça je n'l'ai jamais bien su, et si jamais je le savais, je crois bien que je n'irai plus!" La Rue Kétanou
or, more or less: "I don't know where I'm going, it's something I've never known, and if I ever knew it, I think I wouldn't go there anymore..."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've surfed during many years, in many countries, and met a lot of great people... I had few opportunities to host because I always lived in small villages until now... so I'm happy I'm able to host now!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I discovered CS when I was EVS volunteer in Finland : I met a lot of people all around Finland, I took part to meetings and surfed many couches. Since it's been a part of all my trips, and a way to make new friends in the cities where I've been.

Interests

First I love nature, everything I can do in the wild, while it respects the nature - and I'm interested in alternative ways of life, to be in better harmony with our environment (nature and people)
I also love circus (juggling, unicycle...), music, dances, mainly traditional ones, from many parts of the world, handicrafts, etc.
