CURRENT MISSION To enjoy getting to know people I meet as I travel ABOUT ME My family moved to France when I was about 12 years old. After a full career in business, I chose to take early retirement, anticipating a new chapter in my life as I pursue new interests as well as broaden my travel experiences. PHILOSOPHY Every day is a gift. I want to live so that when I go to bed at night, I can sleep in peace with no regrets.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Before joining CouchSurfing, I "surfed" a number of countries around the world, staying with families I met through other friends or acquaintances. When I learned about CS, it seemed like a natural fit for me, since I had been doing it on my own for about 30 years.
Music, Movies, and Books
INVICTUS is my most recent favorite film. I love folk music, and enjoy a well-written biography. My favorite Book : the bible
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Walking on the Wall of China
Teach, Learn, Share
I find that when I show an interest in sharing someone's life: eat their food, live and help with their daily routine, sleep in their home on bed, couch or mat on the floor, and listen to their hopes and dreams, I have found a new friend.
What I Can Share With Hosts
Un canapé confortable en toute sécurité. Je peux leur faire découvrir Rouen et les environs et passer du temps avec eux et apprendre à se connaitre.
My Interests
I love to travel and meet people in their everyday life, learning about their lives, interests, and the many things we all seem to have in common. I like to walk, to read, to listen to folk music and to play in the ocean.
