About Me

Life is too short to speak only one language and to live in only one place.
That is why I started 4 years ago to live in different places in the world, between 3 or 6 months in each places, working or volunteering there. For me living somewhere is the only way to discover a cuture and to meet people willing to establish a real
connexion.

I wish to be a friendly, smiling, cheerful and outgoing person and I like to enjoy life at every moment.

I have zero tolerance for:
Rascism
Sexism
Homophobia
Fascism
Speciesism
Discriminations...

I always try to infuse joy and humor into everything I do ... I was born to be real, not to be perfect.
I am found of culture and social interactions, and I am always looking for new challenges, new adventures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I decided to use Couchsurfing in order to meet new people from different contries and so to discover other way of living and thinking.
My first intentions are sharing happiness and positive vibrations with people.
I love meeting new friends from around the world, hearing stories, learning things about places i have never been and I’m always open to listen to new ideas and views. I am fascinated by the variety of people's personalities, cultures and ideas. I adore free thinkers, kind-hearted souls, and joyful spirits.

Interests

I am a big fan of sports, a real adrenaline seeker, or even addict. I love a huge range of sports such as football, basketball, muay thai or tennis but I have an addiction with outdoors sports, where you make a connection with the nature and the environment. For instance i love being in the seeside to practice surf, wakeboard or windsurf but i guess that i prefer the mountain atmosphere and go hiking, snowboarding or rock climbing. I think we have to adapt our practice to the environment and always seek for the most sustainable and respectfull way to perform outdoors sports. That is why I am involved in an organization promoting environment friendly way to practice riding sports.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a very eclectic person, I love -almost- all kind of music and I'm always looking for knowing new ones.
I really love going to concerts and festivals, in order to discover new artists and also because I think this is one of the way to discover a culture and feel an atmosphere.
