About Me

I love travelling and meeting people, I settled down in Southern France to bring up my daughter. I came back to France after living for 3 years in Scotland and 3 other years in England. Now I am back catching up with travelling.
I AM now living My lifelong travelling dreams .

I have been travelling since avril 2021 first in Peru and now in Mexico Guatemala, Colombia. Marocco Corsica.
I am also a bit of an artist I enjoy painting and writing , so I organize creative writing workshop pretending it's to stimulate others ... I also enjoy playing board games. Ceramics...

I enjoy living close to nature as I believe we are part of it like the rest of the living beings , so I love beautiful landscape, wilderness, animals, outdoor sports, plants...

I love music too and everything artistic really

I am a teacher for english and also french as a foreign language. But I am also a professional cookies and pastries cook, and now learning bio construction. I also do ceramics, meditation, Tarot readings...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe there are two good ways to travel one is by meeting travellers at home, the other is by going places and meeting people there. I would be dead bored in a 3 star hotel at the other end of the world and I'd rather sleep on a mat and exchange cooking tips or the ways of our worlds with friendly people in a "real place".

I love travelling and regret not having done more. I was about to go in may 2020, but of course my flight was cancelled. So instead of leaving for 3 months as intentionally planned I decide to go for good as long as I like and just live my dream. Tomorrow is more uncertain than ever, so I see no alternative.

Somehow I feel like I should have been born in a nomadic tribe, I long for discovering new landscapes and new faces. I am always curious to get to know more people because everyone is a universe of thoughts ideas emotions dreams, imagination... Victor Hugo said that people are like books, it's even more than that... but not just people I believe all living beings have something to share with us if we just listen and watch .

I had heard about CS , tried it and hosts with delight for the last 10 years or so...most visitors are now good friends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It was amazing to live in Scotland and study at the University of Aberdeen. I graduated there and experienced celtic magic hiking around.

Taking my daughter travelling to places I love, discovering mythical ones I wanted to see with her (glastonbury), and finding with her help a friend I had dreamt of seeing again for over 20 years! Sharing of magic joy and adventure!
