About Me

I'm a single mom, living with my 12 years old daughter Lea-Maude, who's with me 2 weekdays a week and every other weekend.
We are flexitarian and prefer to eat vegetarian most of the time, but we sometimes eat fish or chicken. I don't drink any alcohol (no wine, no beer!). No smoking and pet-free home (I'm allergic).
I speak French and English. My daughter also speaks both languages and is learning Spanish at school.

We live in the center a small town and there is a playground, a drugstore and a grocery store within walking distance, as well as a few restaurants.

I work from home or from my office just across the stress, and my schedule is somewhat flexible. I am a translator and naturopath. My daughter loves dancing, drawing and painting.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I was in a relationship with my daughter's dad, we've hosted probably more than 30 guests from CouchSurfing, and each experience was just wonderful! We stopped hosting after our daughter's birth, and I moved in another city when I became a single mom. I was too busy to host, but now that my daughter is a teenager, I'd love to host again.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love watching movies and reading, but really don't have favorite ones! My daughter loves K-pop music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Raising my daughter is absolutely priceless. I also went on a 9-days trip alone with her when she was 11, it was her first overseas trip (and 1st flight), and my first time traveling on my own without any other adult, it was fantastic.
