About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Be a citizen of the world

ABOUT ME

What I prefer in travelling is to live and create friendship with locals. Staying several months and studying or working there has been the best way for me to get to know well the people and the country or the region!
I am now living and working in France but I still have the chance to travel for professional reasons, and I like visiting friends around the world or meeting new ones!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I started hosting in 2012, I accept the requests if I'm home, but I am often away during warmer days, just when I receive most requests.
From time to time I meet CS people in Angers, it's always a good moment and I made good friends :)

Surfed in
Tours, Saint-Pée-sur-Nivelle, Saint-Pierre (Réunion), France

soon in Corsica :-)

Hosted surfers from Spain, England, France, Serbia, Japan, USA, Hungary, Uruguay

Interests

My favorite hobby is collecting seeds to increase my 700 sample seed collection! For that purpose, I make the most of my travels and collect new seeds.
I also like sewing and making jewels, especially made of wooden beads or seeds; and many more hand made things which sometimes are useless. Still it's a good way to make myself the decoration of my flat.
4 years ago I started learning how to danse salsa, I practice sometimes in a bar in Angers and you would be welcome to join! This year I am taking rock classes, I love this dance!

Music, Movies, and Books

Love reading, especially polars. I like listening to many music styles, but what I prefer is songs with lyrics that tell stories, especially what we call "variété française"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Fall in love

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you many things about plants and seeds, and show you how I make ear-rings or origami. I like cooking, especially sweet things like cakes or cookies.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer a cosy place, with a confortable bed. I can cook, show you around the city.
If you come on a week-end we could go for a walk or a bike ride by the river Maine or even more beautiful the Loire!
