Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
traveling my life and trying not to get lost on the way !
ABOUT ME
I'm French, I have been living for more than 20 years in Barcelona where my children were born. Before my children were born, I used to travel a lot, always trying to work in the countries I visited. I did quite a lot of workcamps with SCI (Greenland, New York, Alaska, India, Bangladesh); I've been living 2 years in Vietnam, teaching French; I've worked as a turist guide in Vietnam, Iran, Nepal and Tibet, Algeria and some other countries. Now I teach French as a foreign language to Spanish adults in Figueres, Spain. I live in Ceret, a small village near the Pyrenees, in France.
PHILOSOPHY
Life is like traveling: that's not the destination but the experience on the road that is important.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I like hosting people in my home from diferent parts of the world, discovering new life projects and travelling a bit, so. I also plan to travel myself and meet couch surfers around. Most of the time I am travelling with my 9 and 11-year old children.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I love hosting people from CS at home. This is so nice to share different ways of living, but always the same interest for travelling and sharing. Cs is quite new to me, but I've been member of Servas, a similar organisation and movement for peace for more than 15 years. With Servas, I've been hosted in Iceland and South Africa and soon in USA, but I hosted people from so many countries as I was living in Barcelona. Now I am still a Servas member in France, and a CS member as well.

Music, Movies, and Books
I love any kind of Music, mainly European and Asiatic movies. I love reading. Unfortunately I got so little time now with two very vivid children! :-)
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I've slept in a jail in Alaska but I swear I did not do anything bad. I will tell you how that happened if one day we meet each other! ;-)
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teack you French, Catalan, Spanish, and some word of Farsi! ;-) I can also cook with you, exchange some ideas about gardening, or give you tips about the countries where I've lived/worked in. I like very much photography and so I might share with you about that.
