Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to show "my" Paris to couchsurfers as picky as me !

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Interests

I'm Straight-Edge to the Bone. Into Arts and Crafts (Drawing, Engraving, Binding, Knitting, Sewing, Embroidery), Environment and Animal Protection, Cooking (I'm a proud lil' Veggie) and Baking (the Canadian way).

*** My peep-toe killer-high Heels and Stilettos, my oversize Shades and Sunglasses.

*** My white Ice-Skates and my black Bike, Zeppelins (I don't own any Zeppelin myself, unfortunately ...) and Tommy Guns (aka Thompson Submachine Guns)
