ABOUT ME

German teacher for french, interested in all kind of (not only french) stuff... people and their weird lifestyle, music, literature, movies...I'd like to have some (hopefully good) talks about nothing and all, just wanna enjoy my holidays what for me means relaxing, reading, having a little rest in the nature and listening to people's stories... as long as they are told in german, french, or english (what I'm trying to improve).

PHILOSOPHY

Dream bigger... get quiet, just be... nurture your soul... allow the blessings to sink in and stay for awhile... surround yourself with good people

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

A friend of mine told me that it was a very awesome way to get to know interesting people - at home as well as in all parts of the world.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

a very excited newbie

Interests

As I am a teacher I am always interested in improving the learning surroundings of my students...

I really like to read novels, at the moment Julian Barnes is one of my favourites, and listen to music. French, English/American, and Israelian contemporary authors and musicians are always on the top of my interests.

Listening to people's stories, taking photos (buildings as well as portraits), discovering how a town smells in the rain

Expositions/Museums (Chagall, Malevich, Hopper, Cézanne, Rothko, all kind of photography)
