About Me

CURRENT MISSION

*un jour, une idée*one idea a day*

ABOUT ME

well, i can define myself as feminist, non-violent, open-minded, politically-concerned european.
ATTENTION : I live alone with my son, 5 year old, but i share the common yard with my friendly neighbours, single parents too.It's kind of a community, hence we spend a lot of time together, eating, chatting, sharing and caring.
but we're not hippies or lazy wankers! we all got a jobs and pay taxes!
so, if i'm hosting you, you'll be likely to meet them. and their children.

PHILOSOPHY

trying to enjoy.
trying to be nicer. Trying to be wiser.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i'm looking forward to sharing my hospitality. my flat is small, but my (our) heart is big.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

i hosted many CSers, every experience is different. but i always learned something.

Please, be reminded that coufsurfing is NOT a bed & breakfast... i expect some commitment and curiosity from you, because i suppose it's what you're expecting from me! but don't worry, i'm not so harsh and serious as it looks!
Couchsurfing rules!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

i witnessed a car falling from a bridge i luxemburg-city. quite a nasty fall.

Teach, Learn, Share

i like to learn languages. i can teach you how to draw with your guts, not using your brains, but your feelings. as quentin blake said : there is no bad drawings; if it's bad, it's the drawing's fault, not yours...
