About Me

The simple things are the best! Give a good meal, good company, we'll create a nice atmostphere and I'll love it.
I'm curious and very enthousiastic, l love initiating new projects, planning trips or explorations, share memories, learn from others and try to make CSing special when I host.

I enjoy either staying at home watching a good movie or reading a book, cooking; or going out with friends. I love walking: it is just a pleasure to feel one with nature.

PHILOSOPHY

Respect human being and your environment! Don't worry, be happy
I try to see the positiv aspect of everything.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to host people and make them discover my environment. In exchange, I love to listen travel stories and hear about places they discovered, things they experimented.
What I do when I host? I can provide some touristic information, cook typical dishes and organise visits. I receive CSer as we were friends!

As traveler, I like to visit, discover new places, cultures, etc.
I'm keen to know how people lives in other countries, what are their point of view, their lifestyle, their cook (I love food and cooking), and to share their life even for a short while.
That's why I do prefer travelling with couchsurfing, it is the better way to know people, the culture and spirit of the place we are trying to understand.

Interests

Stories: reading, story tellers and watching movies
Eating ; cooking
Environment - sustainability
Traditions, history & cultures
Health
Discovering new things: ideas, facts, truths, places, etc.

If a place is known for one thing, I want to experience thing absolutly. It's the way to know the place I'm visiting.

Music, Movies, and Books

I have a feeling with jazz, folk, and rock music. I guess I prefer smilly and warm music.
I discovered opera in Vienna (just an amazing place), and want to know also better african music in Africa, and others typical traditional styles...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hard to mention just one.
Athens in a wheelchair after breaking my ankle. I don't recommend...
The garden of Eden where I slept for a night in Croatia after meeting this lovelly women who told us to camp in her wonderful garden with a little river, a waterfront, fruit trees, etc. She also gave us the key of her house to help ourselves for breakfast, without knowing us. Trust and kindness!
The Soca source in Slovenia.
Sweden in winter: the respect they have for nature and traditions.
A lovely hike in the middle of Cairngorn park (Scotland) with a stranger for company and no map. Just intuition and nice talks about life.
Living with my grand mother in front of the sea side in Britany (France). Waking up, seeing the sea and saying "Hi".
Spontaneity is amazing, the people you spend time with and the present moment.
