About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Once I will have found who I am, my aim will be to forget about it and to move on with renewed desire.

ABOUT ME

I am a curious an open-minded person who enjoys feeling independent, on the move and who likes meeting new and different people. Love arts, architecture, history, travels,hiking, sailing and ski, friendship, good wine, tasty food and talks etc.

To m,e money is a tool and not an end. There are more important issues in life than working-earning-spending... I like the quality in all things and beings.

But hey!! I love partying and I'm not exactly a housewife type ;)

PHILOSOPHY

The mind is like a parachute. It only works when open.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well, I am pleased to propose a pleasant flat in the center of the city of Lausanne. The city is not huge but really nice for day and night activities. Lake Geneva is a 5' walk, the mountains are 45' away. Lausanne is a great place to go out and dance. If interested, it has a lot to offer on the sports and the culture field. Between March and September, there many great music festivals.

My flat can host a max. of 2 guests (plus me). It has a great central location, beautiful lakeview on the French mountains (Mt Blanc) and everything needed including Wifi . I know the city and the area very well and it's my pleasure to advise my guests during their stay.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One so far! But I have stayed many times in private homes either at friends' places or with people I didn't know - very often a great time.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: jazz, funk, soul, electro, baroque music, many references
Movies: so many! I tend to avoid blockbusters and to look for independent movies with a great scenario, a good soundtrack. Thrillers are my favorite.
Books: close to my movie tastes. Also: art, archeology, philosophy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Many!! Still more to come ---> stay tuned :D

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a skilled language teacher beacause I teach the language you experiment on a daily basis and not grammar in the first place... I love to cook and to share my receipes. I can teach you how to sail on the lake, ski in the mountains, play chess and taste good wine. I also work as a professional guide...

And I of course enjoy exchanging and learning about things I don't know yet.
