About Me

Visiting most beautiful cities (till now my favorite ones are Ljubljana, Thallinn, Haifa and Bruges)
ABOUT ME
Sometimes shy and discreet but i talk with passion of subjects i know well!.I have many hobbies: Middle-east history, photo, drawing, walking,etc... I enjoy showing my city to foreigners and help them making good photos(main hobby), so please take an USB disk with you to download photos we shot together! I support Ukraine and its refugees and secular Israelis.
PHILOSOPHY
I am not member of any religion but i enjoy learning about different religions.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I want to show the main interesting places in Lyon and the second day the beautiful villages of the Beaujolais region ; The tour in Lyon lasts 8 hours, walk and buses (good shoes necessary) ; not "rich" enough to offer restaurants i will be glad to make simple meals ,like buckwheat crêpes with cider of my native place: Bretagne(Brittany)!just delicious...
It means that i host people to be their guide, not interesting for me to remain at home alone! i am retired and enjoy spending my time with foreigners!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
A few years as a kibbutz volunteer. The best time of my life (I miss so much all my "girl-friends" from Scandinavia and Holland!lol)
Teach, Learn, Share
I would like to meet and host "smiling" travellers from eastern Asia to know more about their way of life and culture.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Love of my region
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: I can only host 1 person (or a couple in the same bed), so please do not ask me just before coming to accept somebody else!.....
If you come to study for one year in an University; i would be glad to support you during this time and propose you some walks in the countryside and visits of nice villages (on the way back you could have a special experience: Learning how to shoot with an Airsoft carbine!)
Everythink is free (home food, car expenses...) but do not forget to pay me back the bus tickets i bought for you (to visit Lyon we need perhaps a "24 hours" ticket costing 5 e)
PLEASE: When we visit the country side, I drive for you, taking beautiful roads, so please do not keep your eyes down to your smartphone! thank you
