About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Make life an adventure ...everyday! :)

ABOUT ME

Optimistic-life-loving-smiling-adventurous person :) I always enjoy travelling around and meeting new people. If I'm not on a trip, I'm always dreaming about the next one. I love hearing life stories and learning from everyone. I know seeing a new place is nothing without the people you meet there.

I am also always trying my best to make this world a better place by fighting for what I belive in, may it be human rights, social justice or another great cause. This is also why I always like to travel with a purpose.

I am a person craving all these moments that take your breath away ...and who knows they can always be found in the smallest things! I am always up to try something new, as I feel each new experience makes you grow. When I travel, I especially like being outdoors or exploring historical places. And of course, I'm always up to share memories with good company! ...we'll have to meet if you want to know more!

PHILOSOPHY

«Life isn't measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away»

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to travel through couchsurfing as much as I can ...And I spread the word on how this is one of the best ways to see, discover, learn, explore and understand the world.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed in Czech Republic and Slovakia in 2013 and again in Ireland in 2015. I am currently on a 6 months trip, travelling mostly around Europe, trying to 'couchsurf' my way through.

I am also always happy to visit my hometown with couchsurfers who want to discover it when I'm around.

Interests

Discovering unknown cultures, learning a new language, seeing beautiful landscapes, trying something new... in brief, everything related to travelling of course! But also hiking, dancing, running, ice-skating, canoeing, camping, swimming, defending human rights... I'm more of the outdoors type, I enjoy being in the great spaces and feeling in sync with the nature. But I also really enjoy having a coffee or a drink in good company!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spreading smiles around the world, everywhere my feet lead me :) There's nothing more rewarding than that!

...but also:
- Rebuilding a castle in Czech Republic
- Completing a week-long hiking trip in Ireland
- Participating at the UN Human Rights Council

Teach, Learn, Share

I love sharing life stories with new friends, and I like to believe I have a few good ones to tell... If you have any good ones as well (and I am sure you do), I'd love to hear them!

I also enjoy cooking (though I'm not always very good at it). I'd love to help out around the kitchen and learn a few new tricks and/or recipes. I can also introduce you to a few simple Canadian recipes that I enjoy cooking.
