Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Identify who's involved in collecting parotas and bonetes in Jalisco+ learn Mexican Spanish language + improve at painting, surfing and understanding Mexican obsession with chile!
ABOUT ME
I try to live and be aware of every second, to find the good side of every person I meet, every place I discover. I'm interested in such a lot of things that I'm a bit frustrated not to be able to try them all! But life is not so short when you live it intensely!!
PHILOSOPHY
School teaches you a lot, about how to build yourself an opinion. But the best school is the people you meet, what they tell you, what they show you, and what you give to them. We're all different but no one's better. We should always remember that we're not that bad, but could be better. Together. So let's listen, watch, not always show... and enjoy!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I'm looking forward to living in my own private appartment so that I can buy a couch and host all of you guys! I can host people at the moment, if they accept to be clandestines for a day! Or just to avoid meeting the guardian on their way out haha
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I surfed in Melbourne and in Brisbane, Australia,Porto, Santiago de Compostela, London, Cayenne, Paramaribo, and ALWAYS had amazing experiences. I hosted as well in Madrid and Cape Cod... great experience! And I hope I'll soon be able to write "hundreds", cause I want to meet every people in this community, to visit your hometown and make you love mine... may it be Madrid, Bretagne or Paris!
