ABOUT ME

I live in Senouillac, a village close to Gaillac, 45 minutes from Toulouse.
I have two kids, 4 and 6 years old...

I'm working on an amazing project:
http://ecoledemocratiquedutarn.fr

I feel good when I m:
-singing:around a fire, in the shower, on top of a mountain (shout!)...
-at a concert, in the countryside:even better
-drawing random things on the pavement...
-at my parents' farm because I love them and it's the most beautiful place of the world for me
-with my sister
-in the countryside in general...
-having a nice chat with someone
-cooking (I love making cakes at 2 o'clock in the morning)
-
-procrastinating...
-HITCHIKING!!!

...
I'm an insomniac, a very dangerous one (in the sense that I get A LOT of energy very late at night, the later the better...)

I play the guitar, did some drumming in the past, and I sing in a wonderful choir called "la Rugissante".

Books and books and books, I love them.

Wanna go to South America again!...

I studied in Toulouse then spent two years in amazing Edinburgh, two other years in crazy Barcelona, 4 years in Tours and now back to the roots, in south of France!.I feel kind of half dutch half french but also a little bit Scottish, cataln, spanish...more than anything I m a citizen of the world!

Guys, our planet is gonna explode soon, please do care for it...I'm really concerned about the environment, grew up on an organic farm, that might explain part of it...I'm volunteering in an association called "Nature et Progrès"

I love drinking tea and red wine (especially my friends' wine, from south of France), listening to other people's stories and to nice music...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Come and stay at mine...

You need to be a happy person, sociable and polite...
and we will smile together...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted a few people so far, all beautiful and unique experiences...
I went hitchiking around Spain with a couchsurfing friend (Dö!) and we surfed a few couches in Valencia, Murcia, Granada...surpring, interesting, great!
I met some wonderful people here in Barcelona, my life without the Barcelona couchsurfing community would definitely have been very different...And I have to say that a few couchsurfers became very good friends.
I went on a hitchiking trip (again) around Poland and Spain and again was really impressed by people's hospitality, it's just such an amazing way of travelling (couchsurfing combined with hitchiking...)
