About Me
ABOUT ME
With my English partner we love meeting people and traveling. We are open to different cultures and life style. I like discovering what is important for the others people and what they have done and what are they plans for the future.
I have enjoyed walking twice a month on camino Santiago de Compostella.
I like cycling on holidays. In September after dropping my daughter at her boarding school in Bristol, I cycled back to La Rochelle (ferry from Plymouth to Roscoff).
PHILOSOPHY
Everything is possible.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
The first family who hosted us was very nice. That first step definetly encouraged me to meet more CS.
Interests
For me it is important to have a social network and also local food. So once a week I help a neighbour gardener to grow vegetables.
I am interested in renewal energy solutions and also in creating links between people.
I like the concept of justice restauratrice.
I am also concern by carbon footprint even though it is a huge challenge to me.
- traveling
- socializing
- rock climbing
