I am 63 years old.
I really love my city Strasbourg and I am able to guide you if you are interested.
I have been teaching mathematics for more than 30 years.
Now I am retired and I try to change my way of life.
I would like to meet foreigners

I WON'T BE ABLE TO WELCOME ANYBODY BEFORE NOVEMBER

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Many friends told me that it was the best way to really meet people.
Another reason is that I am not rich and cannot pay hôtels everywhere.

Interests

Meeting somebody is more interesting for me than any monument.
I love any kind ofmuseum... but I'll always prefer drinking a pint beer with people i don't know. Only to try to understand their way of live, their way of thinking...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I stopped teaching mathematics during 9 years and began to work in theaters.
I learned driving a truck and a forklift...
...and I learned how to use fireworks.

J'ai arrêté l'enseignement pendant 9 ans pour travailler dans les théâtres.
J'ai appris à conduire des camions et des chariots élévateurs.
