About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Step out the routine!

ABOUT ME

I am a happy singIe mum living one every other week with my 13 year old daughter in Amiens. I have had extensive experience in backpacking and travelling around the world when I was younger and had no child, however I have a demanding job that keeps me always on the move and travelling abroad, and I am used (and love) to interact with different cultures.
My friends would discribe me as a strong character but easy going, friendly and very sociable and I am always happy to "travel from home" by hosting some couch surfers and have nice chats around a good meal when I am not too busy with work or taking care of my daughter.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We try to help from time to time and make all our guests feel at home, however, since I have a very busy work life and l am a single mother, I am not always available to host guests as much as I would ideally like to do.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My couch surfing experience has started a couple of years back and is not broad since I am often busy with work and away from home, however we've had only good experiences so far and it has always been a pleasure to spend some time with all the guests who stopped by our home. My daughter loves it too!

Interests

Travelling, cinema, arts, literature and gastronomy.
I like yoga ... and smoking cigarettes (not the perfect combination but currently trying to quit again!)
Gathering with friends, share good meals together and have fun..
