ABOUT ME

Young at heart with a flexible approach to life, seek opportunities to start new adventures.
Jack of all trades but master of none, eager to meet people and to share further experience with passion.
Reliable and low maintenance.

PHILOSOPHY

Take life as a whole package knowing that everything/everybody is connected. Coincidences simply do not exist although it might take time and awareness to decipher them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I have never hosted yet because I am rarely at home . I mainly work and live in hotels during winter/summer. I travel the rest of the time.
Also my place, which is actually my mum's place (!), is somewhat remote so I have not received many couch requests.
I do my best to be a good couchsurfer sharing time and doing whatever I can to help my host. I am self-reliant (own bedding, food).

I have also stayed in more than 120 people's places (mainly with wwoof), still counting…

Teach, Learn, Share

Je peux vous expliquer comment organiser un voyage en Russie et obtenir un visa russe et une invitation par l’intermédiaire de l’agence Russieautrement http://www.russieautrement.com qui offre des invitations gratuites pour un visa russe.

As an ex-teacher, I can teach French or English.
I can convince you to emigrate to Australia, to hitchhike and to start growing your own veggies.
I am always curious to learn about my hosts, their interests and the place where I am staying.
Some people say I talk a lot. It is true that I can tell you many stories.

I can help cooking, gardening, walking the dog, house sitting, chopping firewood, digging, minding children, chainsawing (!!)...
