My mission on Earth : Discover, meet, share, enjoy :)

**

About me ?
Easy going girl, I'd describe myself as a world eater.
As I'm a compulsive traveller, I left France 10 years ago to discover every single country of our amazing Earth.
My way to do it ?
Mainly going to live for 6 to 18 months in countries I've never been before.
There I find friends, a place to call home and a job, to discover and live 100% the local life.

After living in Dublin, London, Rome, Berlin, Barcelona, Lisbon, Alice Springs, Melbourne, and many cities in South America, I'm back to Europe to settle down for a bit, and currently living in Milan!
I'm still travelling a lot though, soon going to discover fantastic Japan with my best friend!
And in a few months, I plan to leave Italy to settle down again somewhere else. Canada? Belgium? Who knows!
To be continued...

**

The 3 moral bases of life for me are respect, honesty and justice.

**

What do I want ?
Make my dreams come true
Travel as much as I can
Make people happy :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to bring as much happiness and joy as I can, whatever I do, wherever I go, whoever I met !
People say that I always have a smile on my face, and I believe it's true, because I enjoy everything a lot (even when I'm taking public transportations alone, true fact !) :)

**

About my experience here, I can say I've been on many couches, and met amazing people :)
Hosted loads of great travelers as well !

Interests

Listening to music (all categories - Favourite being pop-rock, electro, funk, balkan, disco, folk, rock, classical music, ...)
I used to practise drums, but I'm missing opportunities to carry on!

I'm a fan of The Beatles and Muse.

**

I love cooking, mainly my own experimental random recipes :D
As I'm very curious, I'm very into trying to taste every kind of food from wherever I go.

**

I'm more and more into photography (I'm crazy about insects (macro), crowds and water reflections)

**
Used to do theatrical improvisation, now I just enjoy watching it !

**
I'm a bit of a geek, but not the anti-social kind ;)

**
And above all, I love travelling by cultural immersion to discover new cultures, cities, people, way of life, cooking and languages

**
Also, it's been two years I'm very into slow cosmetics (home made and simple) & natural health care. Back to the roots, running away from all those poisons in the supermarkets.
I'm doing a bit of everything, from toothpaste to hand cream, face oils, exfoliants,...

Teach, Learn, Share

Everything comes at the right time :)
I love to surprise my hosts !

Anyway, as a "thanks for hosting us", my boyfriend and I are use to cook traditional French, Italian (or other exotic) dishes to our hosts. And I should admit we're quite good at it ;-)
(Or at least... Nobody ever complained :-p )
So if you like risotto, ratatouille, special polenta, crêpes,... Get ready to eat!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer smiles and as much happiness as you wish :)

Some great tips about simple DIY beauty things (like making your own toothpaste, washing your hair with corn flour, and so on ...)

I love to cook, but not common things. I like experimental meals :D

I enjoy a lot asking about people's culture and passions : always endless amazing conversations !
