CURRENT MISSION

Mora, mora

ABOUT ME

A bit shy.
Still a child.
I like cats and donkeys too.
I'm a surprisingly big salad eater.
Cats like me, donkeys I don't know.
I hate coffee flavour, but not coffee lovers.
I'm more a contemplative-listener than a verbalizer.
I don't like to belong to a group, CS is my exception.
I like my independence, but enjoy good company as well - I'm definitely not a lonely person.

PHILOSOPHY

Not exactly philosophy of life, but:
I'm fascinated by randomness and all life situations related to chance and coincidences.
This doesn't make me willingly a good planner.

I find inspiration when staring at people in the metro and love gaze exchanges.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By being a link in CS network.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted and have been hosted by a couple of people through CouchSurfing now. Mostly fabulous experiences.

Interests

Architecture, Design, Photography, Modern Art, Landscaping, Board Games, Movies, Bird-Watching, Mushroom Hunting, Wild food, Kiting, Ping-Pong, a bit of Juggling and Rollerblading, City-walking, Backpacking, Traveling, Dreaming... Sharing all these with others.
And Salad, of course!

To stay healthy I need to feed myself with alternative news website (especially the French one Rue89).

When traveling I like to take my time - no matter if I don't visit all the highlights mentioned in a tourist book.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I survived a plane crash, two earthquakes and a hold-up.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to make different fermented drinks: tibicos, kefir, kombucha and some other non alcoholic drinks as well.

I am interested in learning how to better play Go.
And in giving a try (except drugs) to pretty much everything I don't know (especially with food).

What I Can Share with Hosts

Share... well it depends on you, me, the day, the alchemy...
I have a good amount of MP3 that I'll be happy to spread.
