About Me

Optimistic, creative and open-minded. In a steady relationship since 12 years.

Thanks to having lived and worked in quite a few places (USA, France, Germany, Spain) I easily feel at home in many places.

But also, and of course, I am flexible and respectful of other people's needs and belongings.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just joined and am already wondering why I didn't do it before!

It is amazing to see how many nice people are looking forward to sharing their time, space or experiences in order to support eachother.

Interests

Music is an important part of my life; I sing and compose, and my partner is a drummer and sound engineer.

Also, we care about our cats and animals in general. I have a fascination for the ocean and whales. And I am very excited to start a Master in Environmental Anthropology at the University of Kent this fall.
