About Me

Been there a long time, lived the best days of Couchsurfing :)

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Um... Brighton, UK? Not through CS, and at a Japanese's friend place.....but still, it WAS a couch!
And also Milan, through couch surfing this time!I had a great week end!
I hosted some of surfers as well...and met lots of great people!!!

Edit: I've couchsurfed my way from New York to San Francisco from April to June 2009, and it was really a wonderful time! Thank you so much to all my hosts, without whom it would not have been possible... It IS the best way to travel, and I can't wait to do it again!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went to a private Island in Kenya to dance for a man's 40th birthday, and finished the stay with a safari where we were charged by an elephant! (I'll upload the pic to prove this!)
Was bridesmaid at one of my friends traditionnal wedding in Sri Lanka: sarees are very difficult to walk in!
Have worked several motnth for Lebanese TV.... !!!
Been to a Pow Wow in South Dakota...I was 15, and for me it was amazing because I felt "at home"........
Lived in New York fulfilling my dream of going to acting school there.
Gave workshops in Japan and trained there in beautiful temples.
