* Thanks for not sending me friends requests if we never met, that's not at all the purpose of Couchsurfing. ;o)*

CURRENT MISSION
Being the most myself and inspiring people to do the same, reconnect to themselves and their bodies.
Living and enjoying life, here and now, following as much as I can my heart and my intuition...

ABOUT ME
Optimistic, active, curious... I love being surrounded by nature and living outdoors.
As in the house where I live in Ubud, with a terrace and an amazing view where I spend most of my time.
I love journaling, free dancing (ecstatic dance, contact dance) and kirtans (chanting mantras), and shibari.
I'm sociable but I also love and truly need to spend time on my own.
I do my best also to consume less but better, practicing zero waste as much as possible.

I do my best to follow my dreams. I got my dream job in a contemporary circus company in Bordeaux in France for 5 years (not as an artist, behind the scenes doing communication and administration tasks) but I was not travelling enough in my opinion! That's how I left my job in 2018 and began to work as a web content writer in personal development and travel. I followed the signs which brought me to Ubud in August 2019, for normally a 2 months trip, and 3 years after I'm still there! ;P

PHILOSOPHY
Enjoy everyday, every little thing that can make you happy. Take it easy !

Life has the limits you give it. We are way more powerful than what we've been told we are.

"No one can makes you unhappy. Only your imagination does that." Mooji

"The more I thought about it, the more it seems to me absurd spending my best years in an office saving money I could only spend when I will be more than 50 years old and I won't be able to realise my youthful dreams." Ella Maillart

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To discover the world and people there. I like to meet different cultures and open minded people, out of the box.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Hosted and been hosted, alone or with my boyfriend, until now only in Europe.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Approved as an host, and more than approved as traveler (included in a small village in Finnish Lappland!)... Awesome!!
It's a really powerful tool that makes you meet amazing persons all over the world, making you do things you wouldn't have thought you will do. It allows you to travel more and in a more interesting way I think.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

More than one !

Seeing whales in Tadoussac in Quebec and at the Reunion, sleeping in an igloo build by ourselves in France, going on the highest Finnish "mountain" (718m!) and meeting savages reindeers, making a picnic in a secret cave even Maltese people don't know, swimming in a pool in winter with the snow falling on your faces, hurting myself almost once a year for 15 years (between shoulder dislocations, knee and ankle strains, broken bones and open scalp or chin!), helping a french blogger to write his book "Voyage à durée indéterminée", going to a traditional wedding after my 1st (I did 3, for now) 5 days trek in the Moroccan south's desert, quit my job to become an entrepreneure, watching amazing northern lights in Tromso in North Norway in Septembre, going to a hippy underground sauna outside in winter in Amsterdam, make a 450 km surprise bike trip with 150 persons in France, with my tent, diving with mantas (one of my dreams as a child), using my body as a pendulum...
