I travelled and worked in different areas of the world, now just retired from the Education Department, l spend my time between North Africa and Europe mostly, but I like discovering other countries, meet different people, and share activities.
I am concern with environmental issues, and try to behave accordingly;
family and friends always welcome... as well as new encounters

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

after a long traveling experience ,may be the need to promote a new way of discovering people and countries......so much is to be discovered .. and life is so short

Interests

very fond of archeology ,history as well as ethnic aspects of culture; meeting and being able to communicate is essential to me...spending time with others, visiting , traveling, hiking .. . listening to music , jazz / world music,having a real coffee and a nice talk
