About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life. Enjoy all my lives. Collaborate to a better world.

ABOUT ME

Pure et naturelle. I like the nature, cats, dark chocolate, laughing, old french songs, dancing, my children, trekking, swimming under waterfalls, travelling, learning, chating about any subject with everybody, Disney movies, organic food, playing card games, yoga, scuba diving, plongée sous marine, sailing. And bright colors. I don't smoke, I don't drink alcohol nor coffee. I don't eat much meat.
I live with my boyfriend. We are used to couchsurfers from everywhere!
Please tell me in advance if you have any allergy (gluten, celery...) so I can prepare adequate meal for you!

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy each day.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've traveled around the USA and Canada with my son during summer 2009, only with couchsurfing (and one week of woofing)(see the pictures). We did it again 3 weeks across Germany and Denmark on august 2010, only CS, and met really nice people in fabulous places.
Two weeks with my children in Jura and Switzerland during summer 2011.
One week summer 2016 south of France.
Summer 2017, 3 weeks in USA with my daughter, but no new host : what is happening to cs??? I guess Air Bnb is spoiling it.
I host and I surf any time I can, and want to spread CS around me.
My house is open for you, don't be afraid to ask!
