About Me

CURRENT MISSION

evoluate, be a better person by discovering new ways of thinking, of living

ABOUT ME

Maybe a bit shy at first, i think i'm a friendly, loyal person, trying to be fair and non judging..
i like music a lot, from classic to modern, ethnic.. and i like arts in general.
i tend to be a little aside of the norm, but still adapt very easily to different environment. I like to spend time on my own, thinking and readin, but i also enjoy a lot conversation, and above all i like to share simple things with people.

** This was written 10yrs ago. I realise a lot is still true, haha!. Now that i am a mother, my life is much more full than back then! **

PHILOSOPHY

i think we all have our personal journey to travel=our personal evolution to accomplish. It's not individualism, I beleive in collectiveness, i just think there is smth in everyone that demands to express itself in a way that benefits the whole. One way or the other. It may demand some effort to stand up, let the energy flow. i beleive in vertuous circles. maybe i'm naive ;-D
**Update 10years later, it is still how I feel about life. .. though i would explain it differently today 😀**

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i just arrived at CS and am planning to participate as long as it proves to be a rich experience. I can host say two people, the couch is not very 'sleepable' but i have a spare (one person) matras to put on the floor.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Once i hosted a person in transit who was traveling from Europe back to his home country to visit his family. He needed a place to stay before catching an early flight. Letting him stay was simple, costed me nothing and it made a lot of sense.

Interests

understanding how things go, conversation, visiting museum, ancient sites, beautiful nature/human worked sites, receiving others experiences, cultures, traditions, books (fiction and other), films and old films to, nice cartoons, afro/american music -from blues, soul, jazz but also rock-, i love piano, practice yoga, learn languages... and it goes on :-)
