I'm living in a small flat with my boyfriend at the moment and we still haven't finished the place, so I am not hosting at the moment. (Also only recently re-opened my couchsurfing account.)

(Last update: May 2022)

I am a psychologist with a natural tendency towards education and teaching. Still finding my way in the world and how to be most useful - there's so much to be done! Lately me and my boyfriend have been experimenting with ecological gardening, but so far we're mostly just learning from our mistakes, ha ha :-D

I am naturaly curious about life and people, see myself as very complex and changeable and rather of an impatient nature. I love learning new things (mostly languages), reading the Lord of the Rings again and again and I also love my guitar Elouise (but Kayle my ukulele accompagnies me more often on my trips). In free time I like to dance, I used to dance argentinian tango and am currently getting acquainted with swing, although tango will always hold a special place in my heart.

I really love mountains and my travelling taste is more peaceful and slow the older I get I find :-D I love being inspired by new people and cultures and taking the best of every place home with me :-)

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

At first I wanted to travel cheaply. Then, I wanted to give back to the people that hosted me, by hosting myself. Then I realized that hosting travelers is a way of travelling in itself and I found out that I enjoy the exchange, that I like sharing, it makes life richer. Now it seems like something completely natural :-)

I love that feeling of sitting on a mountain top, just looking at the view and feeling the wind in my hair. :-)

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I will be happy to practice speaking with you, especially if you speak German, Spanish or French (and perhaps Italian if you’re REALLY patient), but I promise to switch back to English when it gets too annoying constantly answering my questions of the type: "How do you say that?" :-D

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

Music. Psychologically and philosophically-oriented deep-shit conversations, but always balanced out by a healthy dose of sarcasm. Stories from travels. My boyfriend, who may come with me, is a very meek and yet deeply informed person who loves to talk about biomechanics and health and is getting into ecological agriculture.
