Time is a precious commodity for me and that's why I don't want to waste even a crumb of it.
I'm a French teacher and I ease the difficulties with café gourmand ;)
Love is the most important commandment but I choose who I will love myself.
I'm addicted to books and I can't get rid of them.

Order is important but a place to live should be a home not a slavery.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Every country, every community and every person represents a new dimension of humanity, a kind mentality in which I believe and surprising interesting things in many areas of life. I admire this diversity of the globe and enjoy the freedom of choice to taste something unexpectedly good in every corner of the world.

Interests

I enjoy walks, the sun, the freezing fresh winter, the sight of the nobility of horses, the smell of mowed grass, the bright yellow color of blooming mimosa, the taste of Orava bryndza and grandma's potato pancakes, the trust of my child, the magnificent and moving songs of the musicals Painted on Glass, Dracula and Les Misérables, the imagination of C.S. Lewis's books and God's sense of humor

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
