Hello.
Before sending me any request please consider that I don't live in Nancy town, but in a village about 20km away- You need to come here by car, because there is very little public transport.

I grew up in this tiny french village, lived in Berlin during four years, a year in Australia, travelled months in South east Asia, before returning to my home town in France. I have a house there and a garden.

I am the mother of a lovely daughter called Diane, born in 2015. She's half italian and she's wonderfull.

I live and work on a tree nursery. We grow trees and shrubs, as well as fruit trees and espaliers. I spend a big part of my days out side, may it rain, freeze or be deadly warm. It is a great change from living in a capital or travelling around all the time.

Besides, I keep on writing, composing music.

Philosophy

be clear in admitting your real desires
discard all irrelevances
Decide to try and do it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

hosting people for years before knowing couchsurfing, through music especially, as I organised shows in Berlin - hosting musicians and then be hosted as we went on tour with other projects. It is a nice thing to share hospitality. Couch surfing can be a nice thing to!

Music, Movies, and Books

radio plays and Film music, Folk, Nina Simone, around Tschaikovski, some psychadelic songs, learning pipe organ, funny electronics and very random tracks, all these couacks that makes me laugh, children choirs, great drummers, serial&minimalistic music, I sometime get wild when the perfect song hits the radio when I drive my little car - as cheesy as it can be I'd sing it out loud! I can stay in a canyon and listen to the further my ear can ear, enjoy a dance on a good hip hop tune, people singing while house keeping or working outdoors, I love my piano, and there's something special between Beethoven and me... ah ah! So what - somewhere in this big family.
