Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Make a difference in the world. Make small, good things everyday. One step after the other, I'll get around the world hopefully spread my optimism and enthusiasm to lots of people.
ABOUT ME
I am a 26-year-old Frenchie who got the travel bug. I also got the "idea bug", I just keep having ideas and new projects I want to start, new dreams... It can be tiring sometimes, but it is mind-blowing to always have something to fulfill or to dream about!
I am quite easy to live with, I love meeting new people, and getting to know them. I'm used to participating to house works and to share as much as I can with others.
I am passionate about travels, languages, environment/wood, solidarity/social justice (NGOs) and alternative schooling systems.
I also love any hobbies concerning arts, music, nature and craft.
Being now officially a joiner, I want to explore woodwork in as many aspects as I can, starting with building tiny houses and other eco-friendly houses, marketed floors, boat carpentry, theatre or movie props and traditional carpentry.
PHILOSOPHY
Trust life and let chance lead for the best, go ahead to meet people and share as much as I can.
Be Happy!
Be Here and Now...
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I can cook nice food.
I can help with any work in the house (cleaning, washing the dishes, painting??, etc).
I'm very happy to host people now that I have a place to call home!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have been couchsurfing many times in NZ and I really loved it. I've even gone back to some of the places to visit my wonderful hosts again! I then found some heart families, more than just hosts.
I have then been staying at people's in France and the UK, loving it every time!
Now I keep staying at people's when I visit a new place, and I am very enthusiastic about hosting people myself.
I like the concept of sharing and meeting people, feeling that they trust you and want to share their interests with you. Now I have a place to stay, it's my turn to host travellers looking for a place to stay and people to meet.
