About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Be curious, be open minded, be (a) Human !

ABOUT ME
I used to be a journalist, then a teacher in France. Now, I am Physiotherapist in Germany !

I like people with great sense of humour. I like to laugh.
I like getting " absorbed " by a new culture. I don't like living abroad without changing my way of living.
I looooooove change, foreign languages, horses, nature.
I like meeting people. I don't like loudy places were we can't communicate. I like electro, rock and hard rock, trip-hop, classical music: In this case, the place might be loud ! I don't like rap much.
I am very talkative, outgoing and I appreciate to give a help.
I sometimes smoke but I am not "fixed".
I like animals of all kinds... I am Only scared in front of enormous myriapods I met in Cambodia.

PHILOSOPHY

Build something, don't destroy what the other build.
Make things seriously, but don't be serious.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I am hosted, I can give a help in rooming or doing the Washing up... Or whatever I am not thinking right now. Be assured that " my " place will remain tidy.

Home: a big mastress and a sleeping bag plus cushion.

In another way: I am glad if I Can go for a walk in your city and perhaps make you discovering things you never noticed with my foreigner eyes 🙂

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In Cambodia and home as an host (in France and now in Germany).

Interests

Foreign languages. I can speak French (I am French), German (I studied in Germany and live there) English, Italian, Swiss German and Spanish. I used to speak a little bit Khmer as I was in Cambodia, but it's now a long time ago.

I love music, discovering new culture. I love when people can have me discover their " paradise place " and talk about what they love (my former job has probably something to do with that)

Music, Movies, and Books

Das Leben der Anderen, Layer Cake (films), Led Zeppelin, Beatles, Justice, Archive, too many books to mention, to many films and music too...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Amazing... Perhaps parachute... I used to be a horse rider too, my passion.
Oh yes, I started to study physiotherapy at the age of 49... Quite a challenge, when you have never studied sciences...
I think what I do is not that amazing...
Every people, every culture can be very amazing, discovering them is amazing too...

Teach, Learn, Share

Teaching : French and German. I am translater from German into French. Perhaps I can show something Else, but I would perhaps realise it when I am by your side. I can provide you some massage, as I am physiotherapist.

I learnt khmer. I did it on myself and had great fun about it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am interested in being with people, discovering the daily life, the favorite places of yours, your passions, your way of life. That's the reason why I don't like hotels that much. Being alone with myself is not my cup of tea, I prefer exchanging point of views with cool people!
