CURRENT MISSION

To live simply, be compassionate and socially responsible and enjoy life to the fullest.

ABOUT ME

I love to travel and learn about different cultures and languages. Getting to know people from backgrounds other than my own, to learn from them and with them, is incredibly enriching. I also enjoy hiking, yoga and reading.
My family is important to me: I'm married and have children and grandchildren.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

When I lived in South Dakota (USA), I built a stone house with my husband--with our own hands--out of rocks we collected from farmers' fields. Took us 7 years to complete but we did it!.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I speak intermediate Spanish and beginner Portuguese but have a hard time understanding both when they're spoken. (I know, it's supposed to be the other way around.)
I'm always interested in hearing/learning about others' travel experiences.

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

Help with making meals and doing all the clean up after.
Insights about life and cultures in the U.S. , particularly the American Southwest.
