Bonjour!

I'm French, from Haute-Savoie (near Mont-Blanc). I like mountains and Nature.
I live in Grenoble since 2012.
I've been in Sweden with Erasmus for 8 months in 2005.
I like discovering different cultures, meet new people from different areas or countries.

I am a little quiet and discrete at first.
I enjoy learning (everything), I like walking in the Nature, picking vegetables from my parent's garden, dancing (bachata/salsa), playing games (cards, board games); I play violin and I'm learning piano, I practice yoga, I have my first reiki degree.
I use my bike rather than my car in Grenoble.

I will not be available in May in Grenoble (travelling to Canada)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like meeting new people, new way of life, trying new stuff.
Sometimes couchsurfers can become good friends (I've been in holidays with my first couchsurfer, who is now a good friend!)

While traveling, I would love to stay with the local people, because I think it's the best way to get to know the country and its culture deeper; more than just tourstic places.

I've hosted people many times, and I like doing it to discover new people, new way of life.
I've never been hosted, I plan to go to Canada on May 2018 and I would like to do some couchsurfing there.

I like speaking english to improve it.

As a guest, I can help you with cooking, cleaning; we can play board games, visits stuff together if you have time, do some yoga...; I like walking in the Nature.

As a host, I am quite busy and I expect my guests to be a bit independant. Of course if I have time, we'll share a meal and discuss about things to do in Grenoble and surroundings.
I live near Grenoble train station, which can be practical for people coming by train ;-)
