About Me

CURRENT MISSION

don't worry be happy!

ABOUT ME

I like art, history, books, museum, to walk in the street to see architecture, theater, music, movies...). I love to travel and to meet people around a drink or a good dinner. I am easy going, always ready to meet new people and do new experiences.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in people kindness. I am not naive but I prefer see the sunny side of things! I feel concerned about environment issues. Life is short but full of surprises... I know how lucky I am, I have opportunities and lot of chances.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I first started when I was in Quebec then as soon as I came back in France I started to host people in Lyon. Now, I live in Angers and it's still a pleasure to host people!!!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had a wonderful time when Cynthia came in my apartement in Lyon. We walk around talking about everything and I really enjoy that moment. I also remember françoise and her son, Jo, when they were in New York in the apartement I used to share with Eliott. I think they don't know how greatful I was to have them around for a few days. They where so friendly and so kind!

Interests

I like to read, listen to music, go and see concert, meet people. I organised myself to travel as much as possible, it's not always easy! When I am in a foreign country I like to walk for hours in the streets or to sit down in a parc to look around. I admit : I love to eat... I cook but I also like when people cook their speciality for me!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was in Cape Rienga in New Zealand with 2 friends, it's the end of the North island of this country. We seat there in silence for an hour, watching the ocean... it's simple but it was the most beautiful hour of my life!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can talk about art with people even though I can't say I am an expert. It's the same for cooking. I am interested by music, not a musician myself but I like when people play music and sing... I am not sure I can teach something to someone, the better way to know things is to listen of what people know and to try to tell them what you know!
