CURRENT MISSION

Discover the world.

ABOUT ME

I like to travel, learn about different cultures, meet and interact with people, going out as well as cooking at home. I love my friends and to spend time with them. I do different kind of sports: Skating, Ice-skating, Skiing, Squash, Walking in the mountains... and other more. Surely non-professional sport activities. I'm open-minded to learn and try other things. I also like to read, to watch movies or to go to concerts or theatres.
In general I'm a happy, honest and reliable person.

PHILOSOPHY

I think a philosophy can change during time and experiences. So mine is still in progress. But most important for me is to respect and be respected in return, to host and be hosted in a comfortable way for everyone.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to learn more about the world and it's people and I know cs for many years now. I think you could never be to old to learn or try sth. new.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had some very good experiences with a friend of mine, learning about the french in Normandy. Wonderful experience. :))

Interests

Traveling, languages, cultures, architecture, cooking as well as eating good things, I love good wine in every colour and interesting conversations. I love good books, movies, music,... Well there is not so much I could not be interested in, cause I'm open-mined and happy to learn new things. I like traveling so much and I'm having a lack of it since my children been born. So I'm off to see the world. And I have to say, I hate the tourists, that just check the proposals at the guide book. I need to be one with the culture and the people to really feel the country and it's spirit.
