Jumping into opportunities to gather knowledge

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Travelling in Spain with Andréanne, a Quebecer acquaintance of ours accepted to host us in Granada. We were with 9 other students in a house, who spent a lot of time with us, talking, hanging out in the streets, with whom we cooked communal meals and enjoyed...well good things you can find in Spain!

Where my life began to change...

I also hosted 2 people I met in a coffee shop in Edinburgh who didn't have a place to stay. Of course hosted friends when coming where I was.

I like the experiences where there's something shared, especially meals! Conversations and sharing are the best experiences.

Interests

Literature, yes, kids books too, outdoors, live concerts, long distance walking, rollerblading, piano, swimming, cooking communal meals. Carrying flowers in my hands and admire the contrasted beauty it brings to the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

David Lynch's eye and brain.

The Flaming Lips concerts are amazingly warm with love. I've reached a degree of pure happiness.

Passolini for his audace and the cracks he makes into the possibilities of the 7th art.

The lives of others for its beauty. Take the chance!

Mulholland Dr. Since I've been on that street by night this movie is also obsessing me! Meanders in the dark where things can end drastically...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I noticed the amazing amount of stars that exist when I went peeing in the Sahara desert. I stopped when I did notice. So infinite.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can give a try to the languages I know... I can make up aquafitness or swimming sessions to make you experience water! Cooking as well! I like making food with other people, the whole sharing experience that goes on in the kitchen.

Willing to try anything that can be created with hands.

I'm interested in knowing more about plants, trees, natural elements, rocks, sea, giant squids. Those.
