Overview
About Me
I am a citizen of the world! I was lucky enough to travel a lot with my parents, backpacking and road-triping (Turkey, Greece, Portugal, ex-Yougoslavia, Spain...) as a child. I spent 10 years abroad (US, UK) for work as a scientist and I love meeting new people. We now live in the south of France, between Grasse and Cannes, with my partner Will and our daughter Maya, who was born in Seattle.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
When I go somewhere I love to get the feeling that I experience the real life, that I'm not only a tourist. Couchsurfing just seems to be the perfect way to do that!
Interests
reading, having fun, laughing, learning from others experience...
I have many interests.
With a group if friends, we have set up a citizen group, called Mouansemble, in our neighborhood in order to do things together and be the change that we want to see! For our environment, to live better together and to keep hope for the future of our kids. Our motto is because tomorrow is already today, it is time to make things happen!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Spend a day on the phone with a friend, she in Istanbul, me in Seattle. So funny when I realized that what I heard in the background was actually the muezzin call of the morning prayer! We had spent over 6 hours chitchating, as if we were in the same room!
Go on a spiritual retreat for 5 days

Photography? French?
What I Can Share with Hosts
A warm house and an open-minded environnement where you feel welcome! We live in a beautiful Provençal village away from the madness of the French Riviera coast (just 10km!), a peacefull place where people know each other, talk to each other and live together, not next to each other! A great way to discover another part of the French Riviera!
