About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Be happy

ABOUT ME

After a 5-years travel around the globe, from 2010 to 2015, I came back home to help my dad rebuild a part of his house. At the same time, I started research on bioconstruction and natural catastrophes resilience in construction. I trained in superadobe and now explore different types of raw earth construction.
I'm now ready to explore the world in a deeper manner. Helping people build or rebuild in a green and efficient way.
I'm an outgoing girl, but prefer to spend my travel time actually seeing the places and meeting the people as opposed to clubbing late into the night, waking up late and moving on. That said I love the occasional drink and spending time and chilling with friends or acquaintances.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't worry be happy!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It's far to be easy to find the craziest or most amazing thing I ever done, or seen... It depends of your point of view. First I think the 3-years solo trip around the world could do it, but then in details you can pick between a 61m bungy jump in France, paragliding in France, Nepal, New Zealand and Argentina, Sky diving in Australia! I survived a 30 bits hornet attack in Vietnam, lived for a week with a yak elders family in North Mongolia, volunteered for 3 weeks in a animal refuge with wild monkeys in Bolivia, ran an ultramarathon in Hong Kong (in relay tho, only 43km for my part)... and the list is getting longer and longer...

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, I do love cooking so I can teach you some french recipes or else. I m trying to learn how to cook the beautiful dishes I tasted around the world.

What I Can Share with Hosts

travel stories, cultural debate, jam session (I'm getting decent at the guitar),
