ABOUT ME

I live in the terror of what we our doing to our planet, in the wonder of nature's and human kind's beauty and creativity. I love to create beautiful relationship and I'm a quite quiet person, aiming to watch, exchange, learn from the other. I don't fear ridiculous.

PHILOSOPHY

Un homme sans défaut est comme une montagne sans crevasse: il ne m'intéresse pas

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My history with couchsurfing is quite old, but irregular. As a student I was very busy but used it when I traveled, and had the luck to get hosted by people really openminded, who took me as I was and let me discover special sides of their town. Later, whith my boyfriend William, we opened our little house in Amiens and had the huge pleasure to host numerous people from differents countries of Europe and America, sharing our all-day lifes and stories from all over the world with them; most of them were full of energy and curiosity and we feel very grateful to have meet them. Now we live in guatemala, we are gonna both hosting and looking for hosts when travelling in central America.
I'm convinced that sharing a meal or simple moments of the life, opening his door without any kind of expactations except curiosity and goodwill are great ways to get to know someone. Although we can not keep in touch with everybody, I know we always bring something to each other, and that these meetings give us force and hope for our future!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hard to answer. I think the best moments in my life were very simple, unexspected meeting in the metro at night, playing with children whom I don't understand the language; walking in the Porcupine Mountains national park, near the superior lake, and enjoy the perfect silence; swim in rivers in the jungle.

i'd like to learn new languages (especially in these moment mayan ones!), latino dances, the names of the birds and the stars from the sky of Guatemala, cooking, and a million little things I don't remember now
