Hi ;)

***
Infos -
Hey hey :) Please when you ask me for a roof, write me why do you want to be hosted by us ;-)
CS is way to meet each other as the human we are, not just be a touriste ;)

***

And, as freelancers, we can choose our schedule and we work sometime at home, so please don't come with the purpose to spend your time locked in the bedroom : we'll feel that we have to leave our house 😅 - personal experience !
We can find moments also to spend time together, have a drink outside or anything else (if we are not full of work !!)

Please please, don't bring a gift for us : we try to reduce all our consommation of everything (zero waste, plastic...) If you want to thank us : preparing a meal, offering a drink are good ways too ;)

About us -
I'm a happy, passionnate and itinerant photographer /// I like to travel and meet other passionate girls and guys // I like so much to share or help, soothe everyone without taking charge, with my owns ressources = photo, stories, webdesign, astrology, Reiki...
I like the beauty of a line, of a light, of a face, of an eye... I think i'm looking for the supreme harmony outside and inside us ;-b

If you are curious, have a look here -

We live in a little cute and cosy appartment in a popular area (Saint-Gilles), close to the center, with -
Stéphane, my partner in life and creative jobs ! - Coton.me
Cyahn, my marvellous 12y. old girl (2 weeks in a month)
And our 2 cats, Nieve and Lúz.

Stéphane is a 3D designer and a web programmer - he's now creating with friends an artistic video game !

Cyahn, her, wants to be a veterinary and save all the animals in the earth, and she also wants to study to be a hacker ! She's curious about humanitarian lifestyle and likes to understand things like forgiveness, and Nelson Mendela's mind.

Cats don't make dogs...! Here, we can have many lives !

PS -
I'm a kind of nomadic person ; I can't stay at the same place ;)
So, ask me to host you -- no more than -- 3 weeks before you come = I really don't know if I will be in Brussels if you ask before that ;-b

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Selfless !

And discover cities by discovering people, cultures and lifestyle.

This is my second account (the 1st one in Paris with the same name) in Couchsurfing.com with my daughter :)
Since 2004, I've hosted and traveled by this way.
Cs and This kind of Way to Travel learn practical ways to be an environmentally conscientious traveller. This is the best way to enrich ourselves ! If everybody travelled like that, I'm sure people would be more open-minded, they would feel less unsecure, and a lot of things could be changed - starting with acceptance of difference and, implicity, contribution to racism reduction...
I want Cyahn discovers the world, different cultures and people with this humanitarian way of travel and meet people and maybe... we'll find, somewhere in the world, a veterinary who wants to work with a 12's years old kid !

Alhan wah salhan !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Décorer notre appart selon des dessins réalisés avec Cyahn comme ce mur de chalet avec vue sur les Pyrénées et ses marmottes dans sa chambre (en plein Bruxelles !) comme dans un film de Gondry ;)

Et... poser/danser nue entourée d'une cinquantaine d'étudiants en dessin pour un cours public sur modèle-vivant dans un musée pour une nocturne !

Ou planter ma tente sur un rond-point en plein Mestre (/Venise)... on n'avait plus d'argent que pour manger et visiter des musées !

Ou se laisser guider par deux chiennes cet été en Ariège pour une promenade aller-retour de 3h. On ne savait vraiment pas où elles nous emmenaient. C'était excitant et magnifique.

Laisser les clefs de chez nous dans un pot pour un inconnu qui avait besoin d'un couch pour une semaine alors que nous étions nous mêmes en voyage à l'étranger.

Make a wall from a wood cabin with Pyrénées montain's view in the bedroom of my daughter, in Brussels, like in a movie of Gondry !

And pose/dance naked in front of roughly 50 drawing-Students during a public lesson with live-model in a museum for a nocturn visit !

Or pitch my tent in the meedle of a Mestre's roundabout (/Venice)... We had just money for eating and visiting museums !

Or let 2 dogs guide us on the Ariege ways during 3h ! We didn't know where they guide us but they did and it was remarquable.

Let the keys in a pot of our appartment to a guy we don't know for a week when we were travelling far away from here.

Teach, Learn, Share

Astrology, Reiki, Photography...?
But I could observe that we share naturally ahah

What I Can Share with Hosts

Couch, Reiki, massages, Astrology, sweet vibrations, deep talks and of course advises to discover Brussels,
Also, walks on the big beautiful parc close to the appartmenet and a swimming pool with character for the athletics !
The tenderness of good cats :)
