About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To keep going. Et Me promener sans bagages. Partout.

ABOUT ME

I'm a mother, a grand-mother, a traveller and a writer. Doesn't mean much when you read this, but I think I'm one of a kind, so to speak! ;-)

Have fun googling my name if you speak French, there are a few cool articles about my books and my strange way of living...

PHILOSOPHY

Simplicity

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like it so much I don´t know how one can do without. Hostels are nice but nothing compare to a cool Couch Surfing experience. I just love it!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I started with hosting. It was so great, felt almost like traveling without moving. Had the chance to host really nice people, maybe that's why. :-)

Then, after a long while, I enjoyed the other side, Couch surfing here and there in South America with my youngest daughter for a year. So many nice and interesting people, so so cool to be able to meet a few of them!

UPDATE
No more kids around me, they're all grown up. Freeeeeeeedom!!! :-)

Interests

Travelling and learning. Whatever comes first!

  • writing
  • traveling
  • laughing
  • meeting people
  • learning
  • cooking and eating

Music, Movies, and Books

Too many! Let's discuss it in person?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelling around the world with my 5 children, I guess, is one of the most amazing things I've done.

Teaching French Litterature in Port-au-Prince and surviving this crazy trip for almost 4 years might need a mention as well...

Oh! Wait! I also went to a bingo night one time and... won!!! :-)

Teach, Learn, Share

I guess I can teach how to travel and raise a family at the same time.

And not become crazy.

Well, not too crazy anyway.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Pretty much everything. I really do enjoy talking, cooking, and whatever turns an ordinary day into a wonderful one.
