I never really know what to say about myself in these things... Maybe eclectic, scatterbrained, easy for a laugh describes me best but more importantly I'm curious to hear other's stories.

I'm a huge tea lover and drink it like a fiend. So if you ever stop by, I'll provide the good tea, you can provide the good company :)

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

we're all in this together and keeping an open mind through an open door is a great reminder of that

I first started hosting a group (which expanded from two) of French traveller's through a 3-month span which was a complete pleasure. I couldn't stop. I continued hosting more and eventually took a hilarious world wind travel adventure with my best friend couchsurfing styles - meeting more cool cats and visiting past ones in their homes. That exchange was as like kodak moments 24/7.

I have been the couchhoster, couchsurfer, and traveler and all I have to say is that people will never cease to surprise me. I have met (too) many amazing characters that remind me to live and be present.. so thank you to those who have made a lasting impression on me

Now I try to continue the couchsurfing initiative - it's definitely worth it

I also happen to be equipped with lot's of art making techniques so if you've ever wanted to learn how to knit, make paper, work with clay, weave, sow, embroider, you can count on me to give you some tips. Oh and cooking! I like to cook. Oh and I also just got into Fire Poi so I'm all about spreading that shit
