ABOUT ME

My friends would say from me that I am easy going, curious, laid back too. If you have a look at my interests and what I did in my life I guess you can have an idea of who I am. I like the open minded light and rich atmospheres, I love travelling, cooking. I can be visiting cultural things for hours but I also like to be quiet and stay alone reading or swimming or watching movie, or party, cook and have fun... I'm into politics and love to discuss social issues too.

PHILOSOPHY

THERE IS LIGHT EVERYWHERE

It would be a mix of "be light" and "be strong"!

...in being open, taking risks, easygoing, laughing, serious, strong, laid back, funny, crazy, really really curious...
...in being radical, humoristic, facetious all at the same time!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I started participating in the fabulous CS project 10 years ago as I had a huge nice appartment in Lyon...And my first experience was to host an amazing American couple! Unfortunatly, right after that, I was the one moving here to the US ...where my flat does'nt allow me to host as much as I would like to! But since then, I kept being so warmly welcomed in great places and hosting wonderful people from all over the world... !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

* Diving: what makes me feel so goooood. I wish I could have oxygen naturally plugged in my back...
* Slept in a tree on a protest camp
* Traveling in general...my last huge crush was on Porto in Portugal, the nicest, weirdest, most beautiful city I had seen for a long time...wonderful colors, sweet people, huge spaces and little roads...

There are many other little crazy sweet things that would be too long to tell here...
