Overview
About Me
I try to live more in the "real world" than behind a computer screen (or recently a tablet).
Yes, software making and design has been my occupation for years.
But since I am a curious person I also need to get out and see the world and I appreciate to share that with you.
I also volunteer sometimes into different projects : a Yoga center, a toy library...
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Sharing good moments with open minded people is precious.
And it is a wonderful way to learn new things.
Interests
My interests have changed over time but I should mention singing in vocal accapella groups (if you have been to a dedicated festival, we need to talk !), doing body percussions, hiking , hatha yoga and trying to find an idea for an independent business.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Daring to rush on stage when Bobby Mc Ferrin asked for a mini choir of volunteers during his concert in the wonderful italian style Musical Theater of Chatelet in Paris (hint: check their program).
I could not belive I was actually singing there, with such a great singer/musician conducting us !
Teach, Learn, Share
I love learning new things.
- vegetarian recipe ( urgent !) y spanish
- web techs such as Wordpress/graphic design
- Pranayama (Yoga breathing practice)
- finding and inventing games for kids
What I Can Share with Hosts
Share tips on France and Paris of course.
We can practice Hatha yoga together.
I have a basic training to teach beginners.
Cooking together is always a rich experience. I will try to gather french recipe but of course the classics may not be vegetarian.
in Nanterre, music fans should check the usually good program of "La Maison de la musique". There are also very modern plays at the theatre "Les amandiers", in french though.
In the nearby pedestrian center area a few restaurants and cafés "Bistrot" style.
Also a market (on T.T. and S. ) and shops if you need buy food, both low cost or organic.
