About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life and avoid routine !

ABOUT ME

Right now, I think I am mostly a mum. A funny mum maybe (I hope). I have lived with Laurent for 20 years (but just married 5 years ago !) and we have 2 twin boys of 11: Rémi and Titouan. They are great !

PHILOSOPHY

Keep moving, Keep learning, keep laughing, Keep alive !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

The concept is just great. For me, the best souvenirs of previous trips are definitely with meeting people. Trusting someone you don't know and making him/her part of your trip is really amazing. Hosting people is also great. With the kids, we don't travel so much, so it is also a nice way of feeling on the road while staying at home !

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We had very nice experiences when we first arrived on CS. Then we travelled a while and we had a long period when we could not welcome surfers. But we are back in the community now and ready to meet lots of travellers !
