About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To take time to smell the daisies

ABOUT ME

I've been living in Paris for 15 years which has been a fantastic adventure - living in a culture that is not your own is an amazing experience which teaches you to open your mind and your heart and I'd recommend it to anyone! And bit by bit your new country becomes your culture too ! I travel a lot for work and pleasure and love how a burst of elsewhere always gives you energy and perpective.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have met people in India, Vietnam, Paris... I've been really lucky as everyone has such a good spirit of sharing and curiosity. I think it is such a fantastic initiative ! Sometimes in our little lives it feels like society doesn't care about people, but there are SO many people who really do want to share! It's fabulous!

Interests

I like food and wine, music, books, hiking, dancing, theatre, plants, daydreaming, trying to work out the meaning of life...

Music, Movies, and Books

so, for music, there's all the baroque repertoire, plus the other great masters - Beethoven , Mozart, Debussy, Mahler, Brahms, Chopin.... you name it really. There's so much good music. Then there's Jazz, and salsa, and world music... What would life be without music?

For movies I'm more of an Arthouse film than a Blockbuster person :)

Books are great teachers and friends. I like fiction and non fiction, philosophy, history, social commentary, pictures :)...
