About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get."... for our biggest pleasure!

ABOUT ME

I think my family and friends would say that I'am devoted, kind, always ready to do crazy stuff, quiet but really funny, always there for other people but also a little bit shy and really clumsy sometimes but I work on it, trust me! And most important: I LOVE travelling alone. I need that freedom in my life!

PHILOSOPHY

Happiness for me and other people and doing what you really love. Just enjoy each day and never take life too seriously because life is too short. Feel blast of what you already have or change your life to have it and you will understand that Happiness is a simply thing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I did couchsurfing for the first time in 2014 in Chicago with two friends, during an entire week and we met Jane, this adorable woman who is spending her time to help people who lost their job and house and she's living with them in a Hotel! This meeting changed my life! I've never met someone who were so nice to other people and so careful! I will never forget this woman. This experience gave me the desire to do it again and again all around the world!

Interests

I just love spend my time doing simple things, have fun and laughing and make people laughing because there is no such thing for me that make people.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Apparently everything that does make a sens for me and make me feel great every day. I love every type of music but I really love it. I can't spend a day without listening music, it is just IMPOSSIBLE!

Movies: I love generally movies based on true stories and classicals movies from great directors like Spielberg or Tarantino, Eastwood... They all had a great influence on me and their movies are a big part of my life, but I can also watch big productions like Marvels...and have a great pleasure to watch them.

Books: I definitely love reading anything, just good stories in different registers and I never stop a book before the end. I am a positive reader!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

During my history degree, I have spent a year in Canada in 2013. It was the most beautiful and amazing year of my short life. I travelled a lot across the country but also in the United States. Among these trips I did hitchiking in Gaspésie, Québec, just me and myself with nothing else than my backpack, my tent and my thumb during an entire month. It was the most incredible adventure that I made in my life. It is amazing to see where you can go only with a thumb! It was purely and simply a dream, the dream of freedom. I could not imagine how this year would change my life forever. I felt blast and lucky to have the chance to live that. And I definitely want to do it again, just for the incredible meetings that I made! So here I am in Asia for a new adventure!

Teach, Learn, Share

I don't know what I can teach but I am completely sure that we always can learn a lot of things on everybody. I grew up with different people, different cultures, ethnicities, religions and I feel blast for that opportunity which made me a better person. A day without learning something, anything, is a loss day. It is a chance to have different people around us and I pity people who don't have this opportunity and who are scared about differences. The more we learn about life and each other, the more we understand that we were ignorant!

What I Can Share with Hosts

What I love in tales of travellers are these little anecdotes that make someone a better person. These little tales of life. So, I would love share mine with all the people that I will met on my road! =)
