About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live the best life before it's too late !

ABOUT ME

We are a new couple: Pierre and I, 4 daughters: 25 and 18 for me and Twin-sisters of 18 for Pierre, happy to meet people, delighted to see new spots with real people ! And, happy to be able to help those who would like to share something with us at home !
I'm a happy person, musician, love photos, travels, my cat ( greek, has lived in Japan!). I love the sea and scuba-diving. I love my pupils and I've got a lot of friends !

PHILOSOPHY

I'm now 53 and I think it's time for me to live my life 100%! I don't feel that old but, I know I'm not so young now. I try to do a maximum of things with a maximum of people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I wish I could help people who want to travel to France, in the Loire Valley. Our village is 20 kms from Tours but there are buses every day. I live in a quite old house and I can offer a bedroom for 1,2 or A family of 4 if you don't mind a sofa instead of a real bed ! Breakfast ok with us.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We met a couple of German people who seemed to be lost so, we took them back home for the night. That was a nice experience, rich and colourful! And that was 25 years ago ! Now that my daughters can speak a little English, I think it would be nice for them to meet globetrotters able to relate their adventures ! Thank you couchsurfing !

Music, Movies, and Books

I love The Lord of the Rings, Pink Floyd, the sun and the sea, nice landscapes and nice people. I love French literature and magic stories. I like Shakespeare and tragedies. I easily cry for a movie or a book, I'm sensitive!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I dived with a dolphin in Britany! That was amazing ! I glided a plane above the castles of the Loire Valley! I rode with the dark angels in Los Angeles after a car break and finished my night looking for topazes in the Colorado River ! I sang for Irish people in a Pub in Dublin ! And I expect some more of course !
J'ai plongé avec un dauphin en Bretagne. C'était extraordinaire ! J'ai fait du planeur au-dessus des chateaux de la Loire: génial !
J'ai fait de la moto avec un groupe de "dark angels" en Arizona et nous avons fini la journée en cherchant des Topazes dans le Colorado !
J'ai chanté dans un pub Irlandais avec eux, seule, pour eux! J'avais super le trac mais...que c'était bon ! Et j'espère faire encore plein d'autres choses !

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach my language, I can tell about my experiences ( married for 25 years !!!!!!!). I love listening to people, I think I'm quite understanding. I love learning about other countries, other ways of life...

Warmth and happiness are our credo.
We can give you good advice on what to do and see in the neighbourhood.
