About Me

Well, I'm a genuine girl, from the countryside (Normandy power!).
I’ve moved in Montpellier recently with my husband and his 4 years old boy in a beautiful house near the city center.

I think I'm friendly, easy going, open-minded, thoughtful and generous. According to some of my friends and couchsurfers, I'm "a funny crazy pal"!!! ^^

PHILOSOPHY

Live life to the fullest every day, tell people you care that you love them, spend quality times with your loved-ones, be natural and simple all the time, be who you really are : stop pretending!
Don't waste your precious time, do what you like the most and enjoy your life as if tomorrow won't come anymore coz you never know what tomorrow will be!
To love and to be loved, that should be the most important thing in everybody's lifes!!!
