CURRENT MISSION

Discover others cultures

ABOUT ME

I am always willing to meet people from all over the world, especially after studying one year in argentina and travelling all over south america....couchsurfer since 2006!

PHILOSOPHY

each day a new experience

or...

wake up with the sun and you're day will be fun!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By meeting others couchsurfers, giving them tips about my city and making the world better and smaller!
the cs project relies on trust between people of a same community... so jump in and you won't be disapointed!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

i had a lot of Cs experience and i must say that they were all good and different! i never had any problem or deception... but always wonders!

Interests

art and culture in general,

sport: trekking, swimming, sailing, diving, snowboarding, rock climbing (i started few months ago), yoga, kite surfing, volley ball, kayak and outdoor sports in general

I love to dance (tango, salsa, electro, funk, disco, latin sounds...)

eating and cooking! i can cook french dishes for you (quiche, crepes, riz au lait...even bread!)

nature and outdoor activities. If you want to take me out for a walk outside your city to discover a beautiful fall, lost village or mountain, I should be always happy ;-)

As I worked on waste management I am interested about the 3Rs (recycling, reusing, reducing) and willing to learn more about how it is done in your country.

...but most of all travelling and meeting people!
