ABOUT ME

I am told to be a very nice hostess. I love to cook and feel fine with yoga sessions.
Sunshine is important for me and this is a big reason why I travel in the wintertime .
The warmth of southern climate is so good for my health.

My motto:

*****************************

Non, rien de rien, non, je ne regrette rien
Ni le bien qu'on m'a fait, ni le mal
Tout ça m'est bien égal
Non, rien de rien, non, je ne regrette rien

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It is absolutely great to make new acquaintances and meet people from other cultures and countries. I made my first trip 1979 from Finland to France alone when I was only 15 years. Ever since I have known that people are the same wherever they come from or live in.

Interests

I have a classical music education and used to play (and teach) piano and classical guitar and sing in several choruses.

• reading
• music
• orienteering
• mushroom picking

Music, Movies, and Books

I like to listen to the radio channels rather than watch the telly. I have an old record player machine and my wonderful LP's.
While traveling I like to listen to the reggae, blues and swinging jazz.
I don't like trance music.

My favourite song is Dire Straits' Sultans of Swing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I flew to Indonesia for a vacation last March-18 and while visiting Bali
I received a telephone call from my daughter, who told me that I had become a GRANNY!
Well, I knew that she was expecting, but this little man Max was a bit early and anxious to see this world and I was in another continent at that time. So far so good and everything went well and I had the great pleasure to meet this newborn child on our national (and global) Mother's Day when I arrived home from my journey.

So I became a GRANNY!

Teach, Learn, Share

I shall teach, learn and share until I die.

Most important thing in life for me is THE PEOPLE around. My family and friends.

I love to meet new people and make new acquaintances and take care of old friends.
