About Me

Just came back from Cambodia.
Rambla pa'qui Rambla pa'lla !!! Souriez :)

I like having fun, meeting new people, discovering new places, eating good food, good beer and wine, siesting, making asados with friends, going to concerts, nature, playing board games.

I'm an enthusiastic, creative and dynamic person. ;) I have lived in Colombia and Cambodia since 2012 and a I am dad since 2015.

I teach French in middle and high school and I am also a geographer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have been on Couchsurfing for many years now when I met Didier at a motorway service area when I was hitchhiking and who introduced me to Couchsurfing besides taking me to Lille.

I love meeting new people when I travel or host them. I'm glad we've been able to host travelers when we were in Cambodia even though we had a little kid. She enjoys seeing new people at home to play with! :)
I now have many friends that I have met through CS.

I have been less active lately but I hope to restart hosting people soon.
