CURRENT MISSION

Become fluent in Indonesian!

ABOUT ME

I come from Brittany, in the North West of France. I was working in a translation company translating TV shows and video games before going travelling.

I left France in September 2009, spent 2 months in Indonesia and one year in Australia, and now I'm travelling around Asia until the money I made in Australia runs out hahaha! Update, the money I made in Australia HAS run out, but I found a way to stay. I now work as a divemaster!

Well, what can I say? I like meeting new people and share our different experiences of the world. I like to party, but I can also enjoy a quiet day or evening. I dont party as much as when I lived in France. To be honest, I can be a little shy at first (when I don't know people very well), but I still like to meet people. I love to discover new countries and cultures. I have been in South East Asia for more than 2 years now so I know the area pretty well, especially Indonesia, but I like coming back to places I loved just as much as discovering new places.
I'm an easy-going person, very tolerant and open-minded (well, as long as you're not a fascist!).

PHILOSOPHY

I'd say enjoy what you have instead of being desperate by what you don't have.

Good things come from all experiences, positive as well as negative.

Treat others as you'd like to be treated.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted a couple people when I lived in Paris and it has been a wonderful experience.
Having been away from home for years, mostly travelling, I cant really host anyone now. But I have been surfing in Asia and Australia, always a great experience.

I like travelling, being outdoor (forest, jungle, mountain), dreaming, doing nothing (sometimes it's good to appreciate doing nothing without feeling bored), sport, food, video games, partying, music, being outdoor, going to music festivals...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Left home for a year and havent been back for almost 4 years.
I have been in a 100°C+ type of sauna in Finland and jumped into a frozen lake afterward.
Partying in the mud (I mean proper mud) for 3 days!

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, I'm French, so I can teach you French. I have turntables, so I can show you how to DJ.
