Hi ! My name is Leonard, I am a 29 years old Belgian guy living in Lyon, a really beautiful city in the south east of France.
I joind couchsurfing in 2018 when doing a 10 month trip around the world four years ago and I really loved to meet so interesting and welcoming local people, in many different countries : Mexico, Costa Rica, the US, Sweden, the Netherlands, Germany
Now happy to welcome again people to surf in my new appartment, to keep meeting interesting people !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It is definitely a better way to discover a city/country and its people !
Or even to keep meeting open-minded people and their life and travel stories when I am home through hangout.
I am now living in Lyon, after living in Barcelona and Paris, and would love to keep hosting people here as well !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to Bali for 2 months and discovered there the beauty of nature : swimming with turtels, doing snorkling and discovering the beauty of the marine world (for almost the first time !), climbed the mount Rinjani ... but also had to leave earlier because of the awakening of Mount Batur ! That was really impressive !

Teach, Learn, Share

I have really lived many different life experiences, so I would be happy to let you know about it, and teach you interesting things for you if can be !
Long trips, bike trips, CS experiences, entrepreneurship adventure, litterature and music, arts ... I am pretty open-minded, so I love to have relax and meaningful conversations, and really happy to learn from the people I meet as well !

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am not a chef, even though I am getting better and better (haha), but would love to try to make a French dish for you !
