About Me

CURRENT MISSION

discover the world and the Mistag project trying to break the mental illness stigma around the world

ABOUT ME

PLEASE READ REFERENCES NOT ONLY IN HOST SOMETIMES THEY GET INTO THE PERSONAL SECTION

After a BA in Psychology and Business, 2 years travelling around the world and an MA in psychology in Canada am now in the road again ! Yeay :D

More about me? I love to read about new discoveries (brain, psychology, history etc), I love to learn about behaviors, people.. well, yes psychology is my drug but don't worry I am too curious about almost everything!
I love animals (just no spiders please..), art and I LOVE TO DANCE or to see people dancing.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm not afraid of dying, I'm just afraid not to live enough

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet people from all around the world, discover new cultures and if I get to a new place without meeting the people living there it feels to me like I missed the city. Couch surfing is one of the best way to see things diferently to learn from everyone and everywhere that's why I'm here.

Everyone has something to offer you just need to embrace it and that's the opportunity couch surfing offers to me.

Interests

Well, I do love to travel and I think about it most of the time but that means to be interested in a lot of things...
I love to party, to enjoy anytime i can have with my friends and to go for stupid spontaneous things.
I enjoy to learn about everything (there's so much to know...)
I do love sport and do it as much as I can. I grew up with horses so it begins with horse riding but I like all kind of sport. For those who accept to consider dance as a sport then it might be the one I pratice the most.. I really love to dance (do a lot of latin dances like bachata, salsa, kizomba and really wanna learn hip hop or street dance).

Art is one of my things, I can spend days in museums and learn about art techniques, artist's history etc.. (just not renaissance art or maybe just still not like it yet)

Sciences, psychology, biology, astronomy .. hehe sorry but I like to learn too much to really have one center of interest ^^

Music, Movies, and Books

Well, music is kind of a drug, if you get to meet me you'll see it. I am almost incapable to do something without music. I do listen to almost all kind of music, it only depends on my mood. Hard rock or metal are still the type of music i like less..

Movies?
Mr nobody, Wild, Into the wild, Donnie Darko, V for Vendetta, butterfly's effect, Big fish

Books?
Every single book of Carloz Ruiz Zafon, All stefan Zweig, Boris Vian, Little Prince (reading it once a year since i'm 10 and always learn something new from it), Cosmétique de l'ennemi, Amigo.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Leave everything at 18 and went to live in an other country
Jump from a plane
