Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To learn how to play the ukelele, how to juggle, learn how to love life, love love, live love and live life
ABOUT ME
Due to receiving too many (bad) requests, I put my couchstatus on unavailable. If you don't take the time to read my profile, don't bother contacting me. Also, I don't have a place of my own at the moment so I can't host anyone.
Besides that, I'm a joyful person, always looking for new experiences! I enjoy meeting new people, listening to their stories and sharing ideas.
PHILOSOPHY
Study as if you were to live forever, dance, dream, create, love, sing as if you were to die tomorrow. Friends are the family we choose. No rain, no rainbows. Come what may. Let go of the things you can't change, or the things that hurt you. Chaque seconde de ta vie est plus précieuse que toutes les choses que tu possèdes. Hakuna Matata.
"A pair of wings, a different respiratory system, which enabled us to travel through space, would in no way help us, for if we visited Mars or Venus while keeping the same senses, they would clothe everything we could see in the same aspect as the things of the Earth. The only true voyage, the only bath in the Fountain of Youth, would be not to visit strange lands but to possess other eyes, to see the universe through the eyes of another, of a hundred others, to see the hundred universes that each of them sees, that each of them is" - Marcel Proust
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I was a host and a surfer and I've loved both of the experiences.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
In 2013 I had my first couchsurfing experience with my friend Wanda, we hitch-hiked through the South of France and had a great time thanks to the wonderful people who hosted us! I've also hosted a couple of travelers I've met on a beach and had a great time with them too. Since then, my couchsurfing experience has only gotten better.
Interests
Practically everything. Travelling, learning, dancing, singing, learning new languages and meeting new cultures, surfing, nature, the environment and what we're doing to it, politics and the way it's very often messed up, scouting, movies, books, animals, art...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Seeing almost all my friends get along, be cheerful and happy, and maybe just a bit drunk, on the day of my farewell party.
Teach, Learn, Share
“If you understand me perfectly and don’t understand yourself, you’ll flunk the course; and if you understand yourselves and don’t understand me, you graduate. What do you think of that for a philosophy!” Murshid Samuel L. Lewis. I really like this idea. Teachers should always be there to help their students grow, a student should never be the one to serve the teacher. I would love to share my visions on life, on love, on people, on nature, on dreams. I would like to share my skills, for as far as I have those, in dancing, drawing and languages.
What I Can Share with Hosts
A smile, a good time and hopefully a wonderful memory.
