About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live. Explore. Love. Learn. Discover. And ALWAYS remember to have fun! :)

ABOUT ME

Hmmmm... describing myself has never been my cup of tea so I will do a bref description of myself for now and will add more once I get inspired! So, I like to think of myself as a fun and funny person, easy going, open minded, very enthousiastic, active, and curious. Travelling, laughing and cooking are some of my favorite activities!

PHILOSOPHY

Free your heart from hatred, free your mind from worries, live simply, give more, expect less and have a nice day!
Equality of rights for everyone!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Since I'm a newbee on CS, (and I want to get the pulse of how this works) I want to start by meeting travellers for coffee, a drink, an art exhibition or simply to show them around town.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None! However, my travels have given me the opportunity of meeting locals and staying with them overnight and sometimes even longer. This gave me the chance to discover their culture and their country on a none touristy level. Those kind of cultural experiences have made me grow so much as a person.

Interests

Almost everything! From culture to history, passing by extreme sports to arts exhibitions, there is not much in life that does not spark me up!
To be more specific, you can catch me doing things such as: laughing, hiking, meditating, drinking wine with friends, recycling, watching a movie while eating popcorn, making a good potage de legumes, indoor rock climbing, biking to work during the summer time, singing in my shower, listening to music, going to the theatre on a friday night, reading a novel or the news paper, talking about world issues with friends, etc. I think you get the point!
