Overview
About Me
Hello, you!
I'm a French writer exploring the world.
I like to spend my free time to go to the theatre, cinema, concerts while I am in the city.
And when I am in the countryside, I like hiking in the mountains, swimming, enjoying the nature.
In both cities and countryside, I love eating :) I am always curious of discovering new tastes and always in for an ice cream or chocolate, nevermind if I am full, or if it is cold!
I'm writing children books. My first one was published in 2014 in Guadeloupe (French Caribbeans where we lived before). I published 5 yet.
I am also working on an illustrated book about bean-to-bar chocolate.
I quitted my work as a statistician in September 2014 to get a new masters degree at la Sorbonne to be a French as a foreign language teacher. Then, I have been a French teacher in South Korea for two years. Now, I am teaching French in Casablanca, Morocco.

I have a black cat, Diego, very cute and friendly, 9 years old! I love him!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
During two years in Rennes, we hosted a lot of people. We used to live in the very historic center of the city and I was quite good at architecture to make a nice walk downtown with my guests.
Then, we tried a new style of life for 3 years in deep Guadeloupe, where you can't do anything without driving. So I put the architecture away (but we still can talk about it) and learn the names of trees and marvelous fruits you can see/eat everywhere here.
A nice couchsurfer hosted us when we first arrived and helped us fitting well while looking for a flat.
We moved to a new flat in Paris for 2 years and we were still very happy to host people :)
Then we moved to South Korea in September 2016 and are looking forward to get a couch and host again and again... But Gunsan seems not to be attractive... Please come and visit us !!
Now we are in Casablanca! I get many requests, very short and unpersonnalized... Please take some time to write about you, why you are visiting Morocco, and would like to stay with us.
I think CS makes the world a better place to live in.
