I think to be an open-minded, easy-going, curious, attentive and observant personn. I consider myself as a calm person who enjoys life, who can have her moments of energy and craziness, but for that you have to know me 😉
I'm realy ready to meet new people and seize new opportunities of life

I'm not fluent in English at all, I need to improve it, but I can understand and make myself understood 🙂
Currently, I'm learning Spanish

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people, discover another culture and test new foods and new beers. It's a real pleasure for me to speak with somebody, have a laugh or a serious discussion, and discover his way of life. To encounter the other in their true otherness.
I like change and inventiveness in people, while giving the best of oneself.

The day I got a flat tyre in Portugal during the storm (early 2026) in a remote village, I had to change the spare wheel in the middle of the night, with strong winds and rain. Someone came to help me and gave me the right tools, then invited me into their home to eat and sleep. A kind of spontaneous C.S. 🙂
