59 , female, open minded, discreet and I love hearing traveling stories.
I lived abroad for much of my life, during my childhood in Africa and South America. and Later on in Nederland, Germany (though I do not speak German), England, France.
After having worked in international trade, and as a high school teacher, today, I am a zen-shiatsu practician and translator.
I own a large eco-friendly guest house in North Dordogne, on a beautiful piece of land. You'll be most welcome here. I have a horse, a donkey and 4 cats.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that sharing and traveling can help to make the world a better place.
love sharing with others, whether it'd be a recipe, a piece of music, a good meal

I only have advice from people I have stayed with.
First because today I am too busy to travel. Though I come to Paris regularly.
Secondly my house is deep in the country and it is rare for couch surfers come up to my home. It is a pity because it is only 2 hours train from Paris, and one hour by bus . I can come to get you at train station of Angoulême if our schedules fit.
