Overview
About Me
This summer we are staying at home to work at big improvements on our house, so we'll be happy if the world comes to us ;)
Foreign surfers are most welcome, I will be happy to speak foreign languages and show you around.
I'm back in Tours which is my hometown. I'm working as a tour guide in the region. For the last years, I have been sharing my time between working, studying, travelling, volunteering, wwoofing, and I'd like my life to continue this way !
I am someone generally open minded, and I really like meeting new people, it's very quick boring to see only the same people !
I like travelling and have new experiences, to enlarge my horizon. I'm always keen on learning something new from somebody, somewhere or a situation.
PHILOSOPHY
euh... "on ne voit bien qu'avec le coeur, l'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux" St Exupéry
"we are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at stars" Oscar Wilde
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I surfed in central/eastern Europa from 2010 until 2014.
Now, I'm more on the hosting part. I'm on CS mainly to speak foreign languages and have cultural exchanges.
Interests
I love discovering new places, taking photos, drawing the paysage and writing all experiences I have.
I like to go in the forest to collect nuts, especially chesnuts, you can do a delicious jam with them ! I collect also apple, blackberries...
I like simple things that I can do with my hands, like cooking, knitting, sewing, drawing, gardening... Things that feel even better when you share them with good friends or people you just met.
Theatre (playing and seeing), contemporary dance, history, lots of books !!!! Movies (I am currently shooting a short-movie with friends).
I love almost all kinds of animals too (except spiders....) Good music especially alive, that makes you dance !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I have been in a farm with cows for a week and I have seen the birth of a calf. It was really touching...
Teach, Learn, Share
I love eating all sorts of things and I love cooking ! I can share this and I always like to learn more !
I'm not to bad in knitting either...
I'm a touristical guide, so I can tell surfers about the places to visit and their history.
