About Me

Hola...hi...bonjour!

🏠 Mi casa es su casa
•My flat : not very center but is still Lyon / one room or my couch / take a look :
https://goo.gl/maps/pZk7aJU8wSCDXdeGA
• One secret : I live near to the "île Barbe", one of the best spots in the city and the best bakery in Lyon is just next to.
• Only one bathroom at home.
• You can take the bus and in 10 minutes (depending on traffic) you will arrive to the closest metro station.
• Not giving my keys during your stay.
• We're 2 at home : my husband Richard (french) and me.
• We speak french, english and Spanish.

😉 You and me
• Please send me your LinkedIn / Facebook or Instagram. Don't worry, I won't bother you or add you as a friend but I need to know who is sleeping at home.
• Who's travelling with you? Also write it down.
• Don't wait me for breakfast because I never take it. I practice intermittent fasting.
• I won't cook for you for one simple reason : Lyon has been named “The Gastronomic Capital of the World”. Taste it! Do yourself a favor and eat, eat, eat, eat.

Some gastronomic ideas :
✔️A certified "bouchon lyonnais" : https://lesbouchonslyonnais.org/en/restaurants/
✔️Visit the "Halles de Lyon" : https://www.halles-de-lyon-paulbocuse.com/
✔️A "brasserie" since 1836 : https://www.brasseriegeorges.com/
✔️A "brasserie de Paul Bocuse" : https://www.maisons-bocuse.com/nos-brasseries/

💃🏻 About me :
• Just someone ordinary trying to have an extraordinary life.
• I'm from Ecuador. Living in France since 2019.
• Fascinated by people. They are the best part of my life journey.
• I'm a no-code freelancer.
• I love tennis. Also running and cycling.
• I am vegetarian (sometimes I eat fish & seafood...pescetarian? i don't like labels)
• We occasionally travel on a bike during the weekends. Maybe you can host us one day!
• I think that one day, I will register a political party turning around FIRE : Financial independance, retire early.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

• Maybe we have known each other in a past life and without internet 🤷🏻‍♀️. Who knows? Think about it.
