I am a PE teacher. My husband and I have 2 kids (15 and 13 y.o.). I love meeting new people, swimming, knitting, cooking, and travelling!

I deeply think that living in peace would be easy in this world if each one respected others and tried to meet them genuinely.
We used to have au pairs at home and we loved it so much. We consider that exchanging with people is a great opportunity and pleasure in our life.

I love animals and have got 2 dogs at home. I enjoy nature, especially on holliday I escape cities to walk in the wild. It is the best way for me to rest and relax from daily rush...

I am careful with our food, trying to eat organic food, avoiding milk product... Even if I don't have any extreme diet ;-)

Family is important to me. Not only my kids and husband but also my parents, siblings and their families. I LOVE family gatherings.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like meeting new people, sharing new culture (food, traditions...). We used to have aupairs to take care of our kids and I miss this time when I could exchange with them! CS is a new way of sharing with people! Welcome home !!!! ;-)

Meeting people thanks to CS is enjoyable for the 4 of us. Our kids are always ready to meet all kind of people and to live new expériences... Travelling is for them a great time!

We love hosting people. However our home is not a hotel. If you came home we expect from you to respect our family daily life, to exchange with us. We feel sorry to make the point but we had a pretty bad experience once... And would like to have only good ones! ;-)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I don't know what amazing means. I am a very normal person with a very normal life.
One amazing thing I did could be a trip kayaking in the wild in Canada for some days...
Or it could be our family trip for one year around the world?

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can teach you some knitting, basics to dance rock'n roll, French language and French cuisine.
