About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Make my life a journey !

ABOUT ME

I'm very curious about the world. When I travel, I like to take time, meet people and share a bit of their life. I have traveled a lot for work or leisure, but I’ve also done a few solo trips (the longest being a 18 months journey around Asia).
I now live in Montreal with my husband and our 2 daughters. I’m definitely more of a stay-at-home than I used to be, but traveling is always at the back of my mind. I guess I’m addicted!

PHILOSOPHY

I don't know if i have a real " personnal philosophy", i just live trying to be tolerant and understanding.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I 've been part of CS a long time ago. It really enabled me to make myself a positive opinion of the world we live in.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I joined CS as I was traveling solo in Asia. I had great experiences and met amazing people. Some of them I now consider as “old” friends. Back in Paris, I hosted a few people. Then I moved to Montréal and stopped using CS. I am now back on the network and looking forward to hear from you!

Music, Movies, and Books

When it comes to literature or cinema, I like magic and surrealism.
I enjoy southern American authors but my favorite book ever is "Midnight children" by Salman Rushdie.
Some of my favorite films are "Underground" by Emir Kusturica, "The City of Lost Children" by Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Marc Caro or "Be Kind Rewind" by Michel Gondry.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've done scuba diving with Albert Falco, been a photo model for the japanese brand Muji, and an extra on a Mikael Håfström film shooting in Bangkok.
I've also drived a taxi in Katmandu and been adopted by a mosuo family in China...
Doing amazing things is something i look for, and one of the reasons i'm travelling!
