Hi, Bonjour, Hallo, Ciao, Kalimera!

I am a 40 w, on a sabbatical year practicing horse riding, yoga and meditation. During this period of time, I take care of a cat, of a horse, of the flowers in the garden and of my humble self. In order to do so, I read books about self development, live the present, try to be helpfull and generous, enjoy the show of the four seasons and the beauty of the lake in Geneva. I like meeting friends spontanuosly, having contact with new people and do so!

I consider my place like an ashram: open to freedom, wisdom and hospitality.

For some reasons, I prefer to host women but respectful gentlemen are very welcome as well.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like the idea that life is like a wheel: once you give, once you get: When I travel, I've many time been hosted by generous persons with whom I lived marvelous, unforgettable moments. So when I am at home, I want to offer travelers what I recieved from others during my trips.
Nothing is more beautiful, while travelling, than hospitality.
