About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see every exotic animals in their natural place, instead of seeing them in a zoo !

ABOUT ME

Well I'm friendly, I love to meet people. I like challenges, maybe a little too much.
I grew up in Brittany, a region of France maritime and very rainy. So even if I prefer a million of time to live in the south, I still love the wind or a good rain shower sometime.
I used to work in a restaurant next to my studies to make monnay, of course, but also because that gave me the feeling that I made something of my day. But to be honnest, I don't think I'm the best waitress, I'm too clumsy (and I complain a lot about my job) !

This summer I'm going back to France by taking the train through China, Mongolia, and Russia. I'm sad to leave Hanoï, but excited by this amazing trip coming ! : )

I'm a real french cliché about the food : to me cheese, bread and wine are amongst the best things on earth. But actually I'm a fan of every's countries cooking, and I'm always very happy to taste new things ! And I have to admit vietnamese food gives serious competition to France. I also like to try to cook foreign recipes : I'm very proud of my guacamole !

PHILOSOPHY

I guess my philosophy would be something like "Don't worry about small problems, but do enjoy little hapinesses".

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to host because some people in the world hosted me, or helped me in other ways to travel (for example taking me in their car when I was hitch-hiking), and it made me feel so grateful then, and I was so amazed by some people's kindness. So now I want to help people to travel too.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed three times, and it was always very different but great. Some of mys hosts transformed their house to a place where all travelers can come and meet people from everwhere, and that was really amazing.
But I also got kind of a bad experience in one city, where all the potential hosts were boys, and wanted pictures of me and my friend before to say if they would host us.
I also hosted four times last year, before to go back to college (during the year it was to difficult for me to deal with hosting, classes, job...). I really really loved it, because it made me travel, and it was a great pleasure to make discover my city, that I love, to strangers.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Survived to a vodka & bacon pic-nic with Mongolian people (but the Russians got me a few days after)
- Managed to get a law degree without ever reading a full text of law
- Going back home and feeling like finally it is the best place in the world

I can tell you about my adventures and you can tell me about yours. I'm a good friend and a good listener. And if that's not enough, I make a super great chocolate cake !
