CURRENT MISSION

Getting a better couchsurfer! ;-)

ABOUT ME

I think I'm a good person. Maybe a bit shy, but I can be very talkative too. It depends on the day... ;-)

PHILOSOPHY

"Live so that you're not noticed wherever you are but missed whenever you leave"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Meeting other couchsurfers for a coffee or a drink and showing around the city. I've hosted several times and I'm willing to be a guest :-)

Interests

I like languages in general and mine in particular, didactics, drama pedagogy, reading, cinema, contact with other cultures, travelling, my friends, arts, nature, trekking, Hundertwasser, biking, my bike, swimming, le Pays Basque Français, Vienna, Zurich, cooking, music, theatre... and last but not least couchsurfing ;-)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Life is amazing itself!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a teacher, but in general I think I learn more than I teach... Being serious, I could teach you some Spanish or German or how to cook paella, perhaps...
