ABOUT ME

Hi everyone!
Who am I? Well, I'm a travel lover who like to stay longer in a foreign country to live like the people; I can be very passionate about a country and a culture, I have been in love with Italy, The Netherlands , the US (because of a cook book!), and yes I like cooking and eating very much! :)
I lalso ove nature (especially mountains), I'm interested in ecology and I eat organic/veggie food mostly; my latest wish is to have a land in the countryside where I can grow a vegetable garden...
Finally, I'm very into culture: cinema, books, museums, performances in all forms...and I love learning languages.
And so much more...!

PHILOSOPHY

Stop to be moody! Go on!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I started on Hospitality Club before CS, and I've been hosted by very nice people on both website. I also hosted a few people when I had an available couch !
I spread the word around me about this awesome way of travelling.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first couchsurfing experience was in 2008 when I surfed Maaike's place in Netherlands in Amsterdam for 4 nights, it was great !(it was when I was register on Hospitality Club).
My first experience as an hostess was when Anja stayed for one night in my parent's house near Montpellier, she was really in trouble, but happy end, I was there! The next day we went for a canoeing trip together, and it was fantastic!
I've done a lot more encounters along the way, and it has always been a great blessing to be a part of the CS experience !
