About Me

CURRENT MISSION

open up to a new year of possibilities

ABOUT ME

born to travel but, after 25 years on the equator, have returned to Europe and am enjoying all things I missed, like spring and autumn, and trains ... I hosted a lot during my time in Quito and enjoyed every experience.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Happy to meet people coming to Grenoble and maybe offer couch ...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

slept in Russian airports, under pine trees of Cote d'Azur, haunted houses in Indonesia, log cabins under midnight sun, waking up is always a new day and a reason to celebrate ... wherever!

Interests

Living a simple life, fully in the present, reducing needs to a minimum, sharing what I can each give and learning from others. I like the idea of some kind of alternative community lifestyle close to nature.

  • cooking
  • vegetarian
  • yoga
  • traveling
  • socializing

Music, Movies, and Books

Eclectic taste in music, ranging from Irish folk, to classic rock, salsa, chanson francaise and Gregorian chant
Movies, a few I particularly love are El Secreto de sus Ojos, La Belle Verte, Monsoon Wedding
Recent books enjoyed include La Sombra del Viento by Carlos Ruiz Zafon, Slow by Carl Honore, and J avoue que j ai vecu by Pablo Neruda

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

10k night run in Quito, paragliding on the Ecuadorian coast, watching whales and dolphins out at sea, ziplining in the cloud forest, gold panning in Lapland ...

Teach, Learn, Share

Yoga, vegetarian cooking, but not an expert by any means ...

What I Can Share with Hosts

Happy to cook, chat, speak English, French or Spanish, and do some Yoga if you like.
