Overview
About Me
I am a teacher (English and theatre), a mother (two lovely ladies of 4 and 7 years old), I love sports (running, hiking, cycling, working out at the gym and I've trained Aikido), I bake and cook (I'm vegan so I love the exploration of new flavors: I'm always inventing!) and am happy to learn every day a little better to share love and life with my partner. I also knit and draw pastel when I have time... a few paradoxes maybe: I've written a few songs but I can't sing. I'm a bit of a geek and like playing video games, but I also love reading and if I start a book I tend not to be available until I'm done with it.
I'm interested in self-exploration and am training in neurolinguistic programming to better understand how others communicate and think... and how I do!
I am passionate about theatre and about improving patient-carer communication in medicine.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I love meeting people when I travel. What is most interesting in traveling is getting to know other people, other habits, other cultures. There is much wealth in sharing!
