About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Ready to guide in Marseille

ABOUT ME

To begin with, describing oneself is'nt easy to me! I would say that I mostly smile to everything, I love discovering in many different fields and people say I4m easygoing.
I come from Toulon, but work and live in Marseille as a primary school teacher.

PHILOSOPHY

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'd be glad to have a coffee or a drink with anyone to introduce people to Marseille.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've mainly used CS to meet other couchsurfers from different countries, and having these exchanges abroad was a great part of my last trips, so if I could help travellers to discover a bit of Marseille...

Interests

Let's say a great day would be spent with my friends/family surrounded by a natural landscape, laughing and talking nonsense or controversial subjects at the same time, eating and sharing. Then I'd like to lie down reading newspaper or a good novel, or take some pictures. Then, why not doing some sport after ( I like hiking, climbing, running, kayaking, swimming)...I'd end up this perfect day having a drink, meeting new faces and dancing at a concert (I play in a batucada band, but like a lot different kinds of music).
And all of this should be done with the smile!!!
