Overview
About Me
READ THIS BEFORE SENDING A REQUEST :
Cyclists, and people walking, pilgrims are always welcome! Just knock on our doors.
We don't like general requests, please show you would like to meet us.
Before couchsurfing had a special spirit that seems to have vanished, we are looking formward to meeting people who will prove us otherwise.
CURRENT MISSION
Cycling for a six-month trip on our bicycles with our two baby girls.

ABOUT ME
English teacher in Perigueux, I'm always glad to practice my english. I'm also now the mother of two little girls and we are crazy enough to be gone for 6 months on a tour in southern Europe.
PHILOSOPHY
there are so many words in French to nuance the verb to enjoy: "profiter", "jouir", "goûter"... I love all of them!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
My boyfriend, Xavier (http://www.couchsurfing.org/profile.html?id=729Q7DU) cycled throughout the continent in 2009/2010 and I was amazed how couch surfers have welcomed him on his way. We host as much as we can in Périgueux, hosting travellers, bringing the kind of confort he received each time I knew he was in some friendly home!
Now we are back on the road and on the couches with our bicycles and our two little girls and we hope people will welcome us in their home.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
We host a lot of travelers in our home in Périgueux and we have been hosted too now that we are traveling.
Interests
People mostly, friends, useless conversations around a beer to imagine how we could be even happier.
Music, Movies, and Books
Jack London in general, "Martin Eden" in particular
Nicolas Bouvier's "L'usage du monde"
"Les mémoires d'Hadrien" by Marguerite Yourcenar
"Les fleurs bleues" by Raymond Queneau
Lots of French music (I like to sing along)
I'm a romantic chick who loves musical films
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
July 2016 We have left for 6 months!
Summer 2009 I cycled from Paris to Istanbul with my bf! I'm quite proud of that!
