About Me

updated in 2023

I eat animals
I can eat vegan, etc
I enjoy the company of vegans (my best friend, my sister...)

I usually get along with pets

Not much alcohol (not many parties)
Into Nettle tea and Bacopa these days ^^

I sleep at night, unless...Korean drama!
Love dancing but it usually happens in my kitchen (my living room is a mess...hosting would help...)

She / her
cisgender

fun fact: I lived one year by a nudist beach in Mexico (Zipolite!)
but I was 3 years old ^^ my father remembers well ^^

CURRENT MISSION

Figure Out Life

ABOUT ME

I enjoy food, music, dance, karaoke, walks, deep thoughts, self-awareness and world-awareness.

----------- extra / unnecessary---------- fun with myself (very necessary)-------------------

PHILOSOPHY
of an ignorant mind

Depending on the day:

Fuck it all - Happiness is in the struggle - I have a life to live (most often, individualism wins)

Explore.
Be mindful and joyful.
Look after your health of mind, body and relationships. Keep only nurturing folks around.
Everything is political: protect and defend to the best of your ability. We do not live in a democracy.
We support governments who invite industrialists to destroy what matters. They both tell us we bought our way into this mess. AS IF!

“The oppressed are allowed once every few years to decide which particular representatives of the oppressing class are to represent and repress them.”
― Karl Marx on the internet ^^ (I've never read the guy but he is great quote material!)

On another note,
The notion of God is completely foreign to me.
I am not a fan of atheism either. I am in awe of creation.
Cause and consequence = everything is connected.
I know what will happen to my body and vaguely how, I and the universe, magically came to be.

I envy those with a healthy spiritual life and community that offer some relief, consolation and guidance.
I wonder about the soul but not more than 1 second ^^ because, what for?

My civilization is sick and killing so much in its stride. Peace is work.
Life is unfair and I am more lucky than not.
It is wonderful, a duty and painful to be conscious. I eat meat and I know how badly treated animals are and the jobs are rarely great on the human front. Coherence is not my forte.

I often shake my head in disbelief when it comes to female / human / indigenous / nature's rights attacked all the time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To enjoys new folks and friendly stopovers.

I'd like to meet you if people consider you nice / a good friend :)
No matter what labels you put on your self.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have not participated since I left Europe in 2013.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It is nice to hang out with and see again in different countries the people I have met through CS :)

Paris 2011-2013 : fun with locals and visitors
I got my fun fix at CS PARIS events, usually attending a meeting a month (picnics, pub quizz!).

Summer 2010
Great Berlin-Hamburg/Gdansk-Sopot-Gdynia experience. -
! At long last, I surfed couches, had breakfast, tours, talks, lunch and a midnight swim with CSers abroad. Whoaa!
MERCI

I started hosting once I got back :))

2010-11:
I hosted
1 South Korean man from Busan / a French couple who had worked in agrotourism in Lithuanina / 1 Spaniard en route to see the northernlights by motorbike / 1 Greek lady / 1 other person, we had nothing in common I cannot remember anything ; never host just to host : a good lesson :)

2009 : while living in Warsaw created my profile and made 2 friends thanks to the language exchange group. (Malina and Magda)

Interests

the Ecology of life, economics, beliefs, story-telling, psychology, gender relations, communication, foreign symbolisms-spirituality, good nutrition-environmental toxicity, shocking behaviours: murder-war, sexism-chauvinism-racism, fears-phobias, jealousy, perversity...

I'd love to become more active physically : started climbing indoors and dancing, working out. I love swimming.

I would love to express myself artistically ; we'll see...

  • human rights
  • dining
  • breakfast
  • reading
  • swimming
  • ecology
  • economics
  • psychology
  • language exchange
  • tours
  • spirituality

  • self-care

Music, Movies, and Books

After the US invasion, the Korean appeal :)
I am currently watching Korean and listening Korean and learning to read Korean ^^

Festivals, concerts, outdoor film screenings, conferences at institutes and libraries...

No trash magazines, videos, etc. since 1998 I think.
Words are as violent and scarring as images ; control and filtering are a must.
Same thing with the company I keep, really.

No TV since 2002.
I get newsletters from ecology and indigenous action groups.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Too much space for only 1 thing! but ok

I saw Michael Jackson in concert in Paris in 1988
during his Bad World Tour !

I hope he did not harm kids.
Hurt people hurt people.

Protect people and take care of yourself as much as you can.

Teach, Learn, Share

never host just to host
it is no fun

^^ not clicking with another human is actually possible ^^
