About Me

Hi,
I traveled quite a lot, often on low budget. Am interrested in countries, people, art, NATURE, Religions of the world, member of the Bahai Faith, non smoker. Have lived most of my adult life in France, than years in Asia and in Mexico, living now in the USA.
I'm a Mother of 2 and a Grandmother of 3.
My friends say I'm well balanced, positive and easy to be around with, clean, orderly, punctual, and organized .

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travel is some times fun and some times necessary, often both. If I want to see my friends, my family, have a little holiday or take care of my paper work in France for example, I need to sleep some place when on my way and want to meet with like minded locals.
I often travveled with the "loneley Planet" book (Guide du Routard) and found my way around, or when possible, slept in my car or in Youth Hostels.
I would like to add Couch surfing to the list, as it is very much in my affinity.
I consider my self as a citizen of the world.
