About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be friend with at least one person from EACH country in the world. Should be easy! (er....?)

ABOUT ME
I suppose I'm a happy-go-lucky girl. I love travelling, meeting new people-and even better, staying friends with them- :)
I love hiking, climbing, dancing, acroyoga, eating (well, I'm French, you know), chatting, swimming, and everything that makes you feel good and has a connection with nature

PHILOSOPHY

There's a saying I like: "Aide-toi toi-même!" which is "Help yourself yourself" meaning something like "move it and you'll be rewarded"...
I'm fiercely independent and free-spirited, I consider respect and empathy as essential qualities, and I like having fun!
I think that a sincere smile and a nice word can get you anywhere. People need love and compassion, a nice and meaningful chat and some fun! Well, at least I think I need that, so that's what I try to give others! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Seriously, I believe that travel experiences are the school of life...

Welcoming random people at our place is a family tradition. I've ALWAYS done that!

It's of course the best way to meet locals and interesting people, learn about their way of life and their culture and share about your own...

Interests

A mixture of everything that has to do with nature, well-being, body expression and so on...

  • folklore
  • dancing
  • yoga
  • walking
  • partying
  • traveling
  • hiking
  • scuba diving
  • rock climbing
  • climbing
  • acroyoga
  • slacklining

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

*Diving in the one of the most beautiful lagoons of the world in New Caledonia
* Climbing in Paynes'Ford, Takaka, New Zealand
* Hiking in the Highlands of Scotland (best cure for a hangover)
* Eating snake in Vietnam
* Going to the crazy M'Bour market in Senegal
* Walking with snow rackets on the Eiffel Tower
* Drive a weird car in the streets of San Diego, young, innocent, all by myself, without losing my way

Teach, Learn, Share

I don't want to teach lessons to people, who am I to do that? One of the things I'll try to teach to my kids will be that a smile and a polite word will get you ANYWHERE.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can play acroyoga (Base and Fly) with you, cook a few French dishes and share meaningful stories around a fire! ;)
