About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Being kind and helpful to anybody who message me

I like to show the city I'm living in, preferably on a bicycle

ABOUT ME

A very friendly, open person, willing to discover new things, new people, new cultures...
I'm a cool and calm person, somehow shy, but I like to socialize and to go out if I'm with people willing to.
I'm not a clubber, but a night own for sure, can spend the whole night out, or chatting in live or through a computer. The night gives me inspiration...

I like to visit cities walking and/or cycling,
walks/rides in the countryside or in the forests,
I am respectful of Nature, and Ecologist in my behaviour

l live with my husband who is from Colombia.

PHILOSOPHY

Being good and friendly with anybody, getting pleasure in giving, Discovering new things, and doing my best for the sake of our planet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting and surfing.
I like meeting new people from all over the world, it makes me feel I'm traveling.
I like to show the city and its beauties on daytime and night time.
I like to share as much as possible.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Registered and verified many years ago on this site but did host many times even before the Internet exists - yes, there was a life before Internet ;-)
I'm mostly hosting and enjoyed the fact that living in big cities - Lille now - Paris previously - there are always people from all over the world who want to share time and experiences with the locals.
