Description

I was a kindergarten teacher in a small village in the south of France and I've just applied for early retirement to go on an adventure with my backpack because life is now!!I have three childrens. I am dynamic, rather positive, I like to move, to travel, to play sports, to run, to swim, to dance( I'm teacher of Biodanza)but also to be calm, to read, to go to the cinema and to take long walks. And i will respect the nature. As an Indian proverb says: the earth is not a gift from our parents, it is our children who lend it to us.... I do mosaics and gardening. I love to cook ( I had a spanish restaurant)and discover new flavors. I am very curious, I like meeting people, listening to them, helping them. I love life and human encounters!
