About Me

In my life BC (Before Children) I was a radio journalist, hosted in-depth news programs and was correspondent from Washington DC for the Swiss Public Radio.
After 2 beautiful kids, I have no idea of what's happening in the world but am very conscious about what's going on in my little family. We are a vegan, green family of yogis, practicing "attachment" parenting and promoting awareness in our community.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My husband and I are in the business of yoga now. Aka: very little money. We would love to travel with our kids and teach them that we can travel the world and be welcome anywhere, even with very little money. We want them to know that meeting new people is great and that everybody has a story.

Interests

My kids, Vegan food, yoga, environment, positive changes, TED talks, music that I can sing along to.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Jazz sang by women like Ella, Billie, Madeleine Peyroux...
Movies: Out of Africa. I would ban violent/scary movies.
Books: cooking books. Yes. I never have enough of those.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Created a family, 2 yoga studios and a sustainable online shop, all in less than 6 years. It's time to take a holiday.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can ask good questions, and listen. That's what I was good at when I was a journalist.
Now I can cook delicious clean vegan food and I love sharing/spreading the awareness on a more sustainable table.
