CURRENT MISSION :
Growing up Happiness Seeds

THING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT MY HOME (SWEET HOME) : PARIS WITHOUT THE HUSTLE AND BUSTLE OF THE BIG CITY = it's 3 metro stops away.

Located in my small town's central district, it's very quiet - it's a very small 2-storey condominium. Currently half an hour from the very heart center of Paris via a direct metro line (line 7), it will be even closer in June 2024 with the arrival of a 2nd metro line for the Olympic Games (line 14).

ABOUT ME

Single mum of two kids, Elsa, 20 years old, and Leo, 24, now living on their own. One nice cat at home.

My job could be described by "taking care of others - adults and teenagers, individuals or groups" - and I love it. (As a matter of fact, I'm a psychologist, work with teenagers, adults, and groups sometimes).

One of my dreams was to have an open house for friends and friends of my friends - CS defintely made it come true, some CSers are now long time friends !

I also decided that my kids must have a chance to discover the world and new nice people even if we have not so much money as before, and subscribed simultaneously to CS and a home swap site. And this is changing our lives : new inspiring friends and wonderful trips to Barcelona and NYC.

We also discovered "covoiturage" - another wonderful "trust in community" idea !

I love living (nearly) in Paris 'cause I love movies, theater, exhibitions, books shops and of course small "cafes"... and could not imagine to live anywhere else.

PHILOSOPHY

Take each moment as a gift and give it back again.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting mostly - But we sometimes met wonderful CS people during our home swaps.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Tried and approved ! I confirm this made my dream of an open house come true.

And the kids really loved our first guests and now ask for new foreign friends ! I'm so happy they can learn about being open-minded thanks to those experiences...
