About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Smile while walking on the streets, be spontanous whenever I feel it, cry if necessary, meet people when there's good vibes around, be in agreement with my-self at anytime.

Except from that, I'm currently travelling in america (the whole continent) for an undetermined amount of time.

ABOUT ME

Newly in the thirty's, I feel very curious about the world surounding me, usually up to go discover some new things, new places, new feelings, new food. I'm doing my best to be compassionate and tolerante with whoever I come across. Trying to overcome the judging part of me and others prejudices... I do fail on that every now and again, but it's part of the way I guess.

PHILOSOPHY

I like this quote from Darwin: "It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is most adaptable to change."
Sooooooo, according to that, I think I'd rather be creative, flexible, alert, and somehow relax to be able to take whatever's coming in the way of life. I reckon the hardest part for me is about to let go off things instead of holding back.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Not accepting guests as the time as I'm travelling across america! But, if someone can host me along the road I would love to share the few knowledge I have about essential oils, how to make your own cosmetics (free of chemics) and my yoga/meditation practice.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I've only hosted a few people in my place in Switzerland (before I went travelling) and I loved the richness of those experiences!

Interests

Learning languages, books, aromatherapy and all kind of alternative medecine, yoga, meditation, hiking mountains, listening to silence, get lost with no map in a new king size city, draging around in a contemplation state of mind and even get bored every now and again (we forgot about how to do this last one, too bad!!).
