CURRENT MISSION

I don't have a mission ! I try to enjoy the tiny moments of happiness : having coffee at the flower market, walking in our mountain, the Sainte Victoire (painted by Cézanne a million times).

ABOUT ME

I love my three children, the two girls couch-surf and that's why I have decided to join, because they enjoy it so much ! Also I have lived alone for just a few months, and I would like to meet all sorts of people, make them discover Aix and the area. I am a quiet person, I enjoy more spending time with one or two friends rather than a whole party. I like a glass of wine while I am cooking (not such a good cook !), and listening to music. How can one describe oneself ??!

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy life, every tiny bit of it. Well, something like that, anyway!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Not a single one yet, but my daughters tell me about it. Yes, I made a meal for two Slovenian girls staying with my daughter, and for an American who was Armenian (?).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sleeping in a tent in Alaska while three bears were chewing our cooking ustensils!

Teach, Learn, Share

I would like to learn the guitar : I used to play classical a long time ago and need someone to start me again (folk). What can I teach ? knitting ? I know, I can show the unmarked paths in my mountain and teach the names of all the flowers and plants there.
