About Me

CURRENT MISSION

In Moorea!! after 10 months in OZ, Japan next!

ABOUT ME

Born and grown up in Paris in the 6th arrondissement, I've made some cultural studies in la sorbonne, then decided to travel for a while when I was 24 years old.
I went to south america for 6th months; I travelled Argentina, Chile, Peru, Bolivia, and Ecuador.
I met a lot of great people during this time and an australian friend in particular. He gave me the willing to come and visit his country and meet his people, and here we are, 6 years later I'm there travelling in Australia!
In the mean time I went working in Nairobi (Kenya) for 18th months, working for Alliance Francaise and organising the cultural events there.
It was an amasing experience, I loved it, met great peolpe and had a lot of fun!
then I went back to Paris where I completed an MBA at la sorbonne in order to enter private companies.
I was then employed for two and a half years in Paris, in a company that organises fairs, exhibitions in fare trade and organical products.
It's very important for me to work in a human business, i have strong values, I believe in Human beings and more of all in the fact that nature is way more powerfull than us!! respect it as much as possible!

PHILOSOPHY

enjoy life as much as possible, I didn't mention laughing before but that's a very important thing in my life, I will put it on top of my list of the more importants things to get to be happy.
Always happy to share my fun stories with whoever wants ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

It is so different (and so much better) to discover a place with locals than any other way!
Anyway when I travel I expect to meet native from the country to get to know the uses and the habits of it, traveling is learning and discovering so many new things. Best way will be with the people that know about the things you don't know about!
I will definetly be more involved when I'll be back home, as I will have more time (not working at the moment..) and I will be very happy to show my town to travellers, and prove them that all the parisian are not that bad ;)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm really new actually in CS, I've known it through a friend, and had my first experience in june 2012 in Autralia, I've met great people, so willing to make feel at home in there place and helping in so many ways, it's amazing!

Interests

I've got many interests and just love discovering new people and new culturs.. I think I can spend my life meeting new (interesting) people!
Aside of the 'human' side, I love music, shows, I read a lot but I hate finishing books, I feel like I'm loosing some friends I'm traveling with, so I prefer big books ;)
I love to cook (I've been involved with an Italian cook for a while..) but not for myself, I definetly prefer cooking for others
