About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To find my true self... hope it won't be too crazy

ABOUT ME

I am an easygoing girl, friendly, but a bit shy. Because of that, I often look cold at first. However, this front fades very quickly as soon as I feel more comfortable.
I love to meet new people and discover new things.

PHILOSOPHY

I've not always been like that, but I try to live only one day at time, and not be troubled by the insignificant everyday little problems. Not an easy thing to do, I know, and certainly not for someone as down to earth as me, but I try hard.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've hosted and surfed a few times. I enjoy that, as I can meet great people and help to create, in my own small way, a better world.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted a few times in my appartment in Quebec city. I have been hosted in Moscow, St. Petersburg and Bangkok by great people.
I usually participate a lot in CS meeting of Quebec city, and attended to a few meeting in Chiang Mai and Kuala Lumpur.
Looking forward for my next CS experience!
Actually, I enjoy a lot more hosting than being hosted. I look forward to start hosting again!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

hummm.... I have been at petting distance of a wild black bear. It was not really dangerous, when I think about it now, but I was terrified at that moment...

I cannot say I've done/seen any really amazing things, but I actually climbed the Mount Kinabalu in Borneo (Malaysia). The sunrise from 4,000m high is awesome!

Teach, Learn, Share

I wish to learn more about everything!!!
I hope I will have something to teach to someone, whether it's French, some science stuff, or just share my experiences and learn from those of others! I can teach you some muay thai or boxing techniques, maybe?
