I have travelled a fair amount, in and out Europe.
I was born in England grew up in the south of France between tasty cheese and fine wine.
My family and I have a bohemian lifestyle, my mum is a painter, i have 3 brothers and a sister and a big garden with delicious fruit and veg.
Each Septembre i go back home to do the crucial grape picking, it's a hard but fun moment were friends and family do a get together at work and we have a great party on the last day!
When i meet people i llike to introduce them to this as i truly believe it's a lifetime experience.
I have lived in Argentine for almost a year and I have fallen in love with that place, i would now love to travel to other countries so that i can see if i can fall in love a second time...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Simply because for me, it has been the best way to learn something new.
I'm a curious person who likes to know why? It's a great way to get that answer.
Couchsurfing has helped me find some good friends on the other side of the planet. I'm so grateful!

Interests

I love basket ball, I like all kinds of sports and like to try them out (sometimes the result isn't great)
I also love food and am not fussy in any way, on the other hand i also enjoy cooking so am up for someone to show me a new recipe or I could show you something i know (pretend to be surprised even if you know about already).
I am a teacher and love my job but if I was to change i would go into photography as i love to capture special, spontaneous moments. I always bring my camera and often forget my keys!!!

Music, Movies, and Books

I mostly like a confusing film, no happy ending e.g Almodovar's films are great in that sense.
My music also varies but mostly i like soul, jazz, trip hop, alternative, ska, reggae,world music sometimes classical when I don't want to sing along.
Whereas for book I could not say, i pick one up, read a random page and buy it if i think i'll like it!

Teach, Learn, Share

' Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass,
It's about learning to Dance in the Rain'

What I Can Share with Hosts

Cooking, a bit of Phylosophy, lifetime experiences, some serious conversations but with a lot of giggles around a nice glass of something (wine for me).
A hot meal, a warm shower and somewhere to sleep.
I can also share, recommend things that i have experienced and love to learn from others.
