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

Explore and Learn.
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.

The notion of God is completely foreign to me.
I am in awe of creation. Your body is pretty awesome if you do not sabotage it, same as with people.

I envy those with a healthy spiritual life and community that offer some relief, consolation and guidance.
I talk to a therapist and will try DIY therapy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To share joyfully

I'd like to meet you if people consider you nice / a good friend :)

HOW I CURRENTLY PARTICIPATE IN CS
My place in a mess so I have not hosted in Montréal, Québec, Canada.
I usually hang out with my activist friends. and volunteer at the arnarchist bookstore.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

BERLIN 2023
5 days to enjoy my hostess and spend quality time with the city

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...

Music, Movies, and Books

Reading and listening to podcasts about psychology, sexuality, different populations and meditation

These last 2 years I was watching South-Korean dramas and k-pop ^^ SEVENTEEN tops my spotify
After the US invasion, the K-appeal :)

Summer fun = Swimming, Walks anywhere with shade, Terraces, Outdoor events
Always: 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.

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.)
+
I lived in Mexico for a year (nudist Zipolite!)
but I was 3 ^^ and do not remember anything... except donkeys and the taste of tamarind :)
