About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Trust life, listen to my heart and go wherever it takes me. I am currently looking for a new place to settle, a good place to live !

ABOUT ME

What I like (in no particular order) : Travels, mother nature, cats, random acts of kindness, meditation, taking pictures, cooking delicious healthy food, psychology, silence, board games, singing, sensitive people, playing guitar, drinking tea at sunrise, hugs, fruits and veggies, curious people, football, music, sunsets, deep conversations, hiking, laughing, being in love, books, cool stories, being kind and sharing without expecting something back, warm summer nights, bonfires and so much more !

After struggling with life for several years due to very serious and long health problems, I am now starting my own life quest, an adventure where I am the hero and where the goal is to find a new place to live, a place to work and maybe more importantly, people to do these things with. After spending wy whole life so far in big cities, I really need to get out of this crazy environment and be in a more natural place, be more mindful about the way I live, maybe find a part time job, live with less money and have time to do the things I like, be with the persons I love and live a happy and fulfilling life :)

Participating to "Questions pour un Champion" a famous french trivia TV Show

Spending 3 months in Plum Village (Le village des pruniers), a Buddhist monastery in France, life-changing experience !

Exploring alone a morgue in the basement of an abandonned anatomy university in Berlin, very creepy !

A trek from Lyon to Avignon (250 km) in April 2013 by foot, only using couchsurfing!

Ran a half marathon (21,1km) in october 2013

Hitch-Hiking from Lyon all the way until Prague and Berlin (Summer 2013)

Waited over 10 hours to be in the first rows for a Paul McCartney gig (several times)!

Resolving a 4x4x4 Rubiks cube, true story !

Fasting during a week (so basically eating nothing)

Exploring the forbidden catacombs in Paris !

Teach, Learn, Share

I have been practicing meditation for 3 years now and this absolutely changed my life so I can teach you maybe a few things if you're a new practitioner or learn from you if you've been for a longer time on that wonderful path.
Although I'm not an expert I could show you a few things on the guitar if you're learning.

I would be very interested to know more about Tai Chi, Qi Gong or Yoga, I think these practices can have a tremendous effect on your health and well being so if you have some knowledge to share on either of these disciplins, I would listen with a very interested ear.

To me couchsurfing is all about sharing. I'd like to share with you some life stories, smiles and laughter, maybe a meal together, a hike in nature, an evening around the fire singing songs, or talking about dreams with a glass of wine. What I also really like with couchsurfing is to enter for a few days in my host's universe, to share the place they live in, the job they do, the things they like. It's always a very interesting and fun experience.
