About Me

CURRENT MISSION
I'm travelling for the moment, so I can't host, sorry

Enjoying life !!! Travelling, meeting people, llistening to music...and experimenting surprises !
I love sports too : I do badminton, hike and cycling a lot. I love travelling by foot, discovering the world through hiking. Mountains have a particular strong and positive effect on me, that's why I try hiking n mountains as soon as I can.
Recently I begun climbing and love it, particullary on natural sites. I can surass myself through it. I also experience alpinism last month, an ever stronger experience!

ABOUT ME

Full of energy, I'm enjoying life as much as possible ! I love going out, discovering new things, places and people. I like culture and arts and enjoy the many cultural possibilities the city offers.

I'm a urban girl... that needs nature and quiet. I go out to enjoy nature as much as I can !

I love meeting new people, even in my own country in order to exchange, discover things, way of life, new points of view, etc. And abroad, in order to discover the country or places from the inside.

I love travelling. So, I'm exploring my own country and the rest of the world. I like visiting places, being open to art, culture and other influences. Everything except staying at home and watching tv. Travelling is for me really important in life !

I love going to music gigs, havi . But I also love discovering new stuffs and so keep open as much as possible.

I have quite a sense of humng fun with friends, hiking, cycling, climbing in natural sites, alpinism, sewing clothes.... I always try to make people laugh, and so some find me a little crazy. ;-)

I'm interested in the cultural and historical part of the cities I visit. Visiting historical monuments, museums, etc. But also by it's cultural life : concerts, theatre, night life, etc. And of course its inhabitants.

Discovering and meeting as much as possible!

PHILOSOPHY

Open, I love experimenting and discovering new things ! I have a lot of things to learn for others and like enjoying life as much as I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would be happy to host people in order to help them to see the city and feel its real atmosphere.

In the same way, I love visiting cities with tips of the local people in order to have another point of view than the touristic one. And to feel its true atmsophere. And to have the opprtunity to really discover the way of life op people there, their opinions, their culture, etc.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

At the beginning, I met some people hosted by a friend and join them to visit Brussels. Unfortunately, I had no possibilities to host people because of my former houses.
Then I've been hosting some people since I've moved.

But because of my work, I'm often away at night and day and sometimes weekend and I prefer not hosting if I don't have time to spend with hosts, I think CS is a way of sharing time, not only offering a bed. So if i'm too busy, I prefer wondering around in the city wih CS, having a beer... I hope you understand this.

I've been hosted several times and it was always a really good (more than good, great) experience : In Rome, Berlin, France, India and Iceland. I'v showed and converted some friends to CS too. And I've made friends all around the world that i'm still in contact with. I love people who invented this concept !!!
