CURRENT MISSION

Go beyond the self

ABOUT ME

I am easy-going, relaxed, very passionate and hungry to learn and discover new things and new people. Very open-minded and passionate about life. I try to stay healthy and fit. I don't watch tv, I'd rather enjoy a good conversation. I like to understand who people are, what they strive for in life. I enjoy talking about our environment, culture, society, traditions...

PHILOSOPHY

I want to live, not just exist. The best time in my life lies in the present. I believe that the way to attain personal happiness is through the discovering of your true self, and by accepting who you really are. To accept that I'm making errors and acknowledge them. Each mistake I make is a new lesson to learn. Personal growth is very important for me.

I want to achieve more things in my life and do something good around me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Trying to meet the locals when I travel, immerse myself into new culture, exchange ideas, reflexions, thoughts. Develop the CS community through providing advices to new members, trying to encourage newcomers, develop more connections, etc.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Many kind of people, of all ages. Met on the road or on the couch. I don't have a recollection of something that didn't go well.

Interests

I've got lots of hobbies and interests. They're mainly related to culture and the environment. I take drawing classes and wrote a few novels. I'd like to learn more languages, play music, take history and arts history courses.. I also love Nature and go trekking. I would like to go sailing one day. I enjoy going out for drinking, dinner, watching movies, going to the theater, concerts, festivals..
