ABOUT ME

City girl who loves outdoors.
I prefer winter camping to summer camping...
I prefer maple syrup than chocolate.

PHILOSOPHY

"We would share and listen and support and welcome,
be propelled by passion not invest in outcomes,
we would breathe and be charmed and amused by difference,
be gentle and make room for every emotion,
we'd rise post-obstacle more defined more grateful,
we would heal be humbled and be unstoppable,
we'd hold close and let go and know when to do which,
we'd release and disarm and stand up and feel safe."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I think I did my share back in the days... In 2004-2005-2006 and 2007 I was a member of the original admin team with the founders and some core members. I loved it. It was a wonderful experience.

In 2009 I've taken a break from hosting and surfing - I was busy creating my own business - a yoga studio!

Now I'm back in the CS world. :-)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've slept on CS couches - good ones and bad ones, alone or with other friends, I've had the chance to stay in a couch surfer's boat for a week and that was amazing.
I made friends for life all over the world, and that's the true CS spirit.

I love my life and I love my friends.

Interests

Good conversations, good laughs, good wines, good music, dancing until the sun rises, traveling within and without, yoga, movies, hiking, photography and juicing!

• yoga

Music, Movies, and Books

Favorite book: Shantaram

Favorite music: I prefer singers that write their own songs, so I can share their personal story and relate to them. I like calm music. At the moment I'm all into London Grammar.

Favorite movies: Les Intouchables, Walk the Line, The Notebook, My Life Without Me, The Sea Inside.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Isn't being alive an amazing thing in itself?
But if you must know, I experienced Burning Man in all its glory...twice.
I can put my foot in my mouth.
I lived in Paris for 6 months, Los Angeles for 5...and I jumped off an airplane 3 times all alone.

And what's more amazing than all this is that I'm not done learning, doing and seeing amazing things.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can show you some yoga postures if you like. Become a pretzel with Cosmic Girl.

I would love to learn from you, where you're from, where you're going, and what shapes your world.

Also, I can teach you how to figure skate if you visit in the winter and roller blade if you visit in the summer.
