I'm away a lot these days - and subletting when I can - so mostly the apartment is not so much available these days.

CURRENT MISSION
Life is about give and take. I enjoy both, giving especially

ABOUT ME
I'm friendly, curious, generous and intelligent (so they say).

PHILOSOPHY
We're all part of one and the same world, we're in it together.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I have met the couch surfing community in various countries, the UK and France. Many of my friends are hosts or travellers or both.

In the UK I lived too remotely to attract people. In France my apartment is too small, and hard to share. (no privacy) But I'm learning that many host also with open-shares spaces, so perhaps this is not a restriction as I thought... I'd be glad to host when my apartment becomes more available. For now life is more a nomadic one...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
- under the radar - :-)
I started being an unofficial host to ambassador couch surfer and meeting various fascinating couchsurfers as friends and through friends.
