Simplicity over luxury + slowness, presence, joy of living
Sustainability, local sourcing, and ethical choices
Authenticity over tourism + connection over consumption
BRITISH
Steve
My name is Steve, I'm 59 years old and have 3 children, Emma 27, Claire 25 and Madeleine 21.
I left the UK for France in the 90s, had a few years living in Hong Kong then California, before moving back to the region I love, Grenoble and the alps.
I've worked for over 38 years in many roles in semiconductors as an engineer and manager always customer facing as I love meeting new people.
Apart from my working world tour, I love all sorts of travelling both abroad and simply in France, I've become a big fan of cyclo-tourism.
There's so much to do in our region whether its hiking, cycling, visiting, wine tasting or simply enjoying a meal with friends.
I wouldn't live anywhere else!

Nathalie
My name is Nathalie, I am 60. I have 2 children, Marion 29 and Quentin 27.
I live with my british husband Steve in the french Alps, (closed to Grenoble/Lyon/Annecy), in a big and warmful house.
I have worked all my life in international business, as Marketing/communication and sales manager.
Most of my profesional life was dedicated to the outdoor and turism industry.
I have always loved travelling but mainly on my own -or with family/relatives- as I am looking for authenticity and human connections with other people living in different countries I have been to most european countries but also to North America (USA, Canada, South/central america), and to Asia.
I have always loved organizing trips, events, communicating and gathering people.
I enjoy very much outdoor activities (ski, cycling, running, hiking...), cooking and eating home made food, meeting friends and welcoming people so as to share a good meal at home.
Meet Your Hosts, Steve & Nathalie
