CURRENT MISSION "Nous ne comprenons vraiment le monde qu'a condition de le ressentir" Jean-Claude Ameisen "We really understand the world just in terms of the feeling" Jean-Claude Ameisen ABOUT ME We are a little family With, Maxime is 13 yo and Louise is 11yo. Julie and me are always happy to meet new people, discuss and cook with them. We really enjoy to go to the crafts market the sunday morning with us friends and we select some artisanal food to cook and eat at midday. That is always good time... PHILOSOPHY Be happy and try to understand people

¡ Aprovecha ! Just a French guy who likes travelling. I enjoy metting new people of new countries and others cultures. I'm a fan of Ian Wright (Pilot Guides), this guy is crazy ! I also want to be a " Citizen of the World " (quote from sulaiman, a friend of mine) It will be a pleasure to host people from all over the world... I've done it 15 years ago when I was Erasmus :) My favourites countries are Mexico (country of my lovely wife), Japan and Italia

Misquote from French writer Marcel Proust « In Search of Lost Time » novel : "The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes." Now, about me. Living in Normandy, France, I gladly put my 'couch' (in fact a guest room) to use, welcoming and hosting travelers. I've been hosting before signup without having a name for it. Living on this Planet, I also try to explore it and I frequently jump on any opportunity to find myself away and closer to unexpected places and situations and most important of all, closer to extraordinary persons. I also attend CS meetings everywhere I go and I organize myself peaceful CS events for talking.
