Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I make a lot of friends thanks to CS: some from CS, and some of their friends.
I try to spread the word and share my CS experiences to people I know and people i meet.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed a bit all around the world, and have guests when I am able to, so far only very good experiences!
What I enjoy the most in CS is to stay away from the tourists paths and share the life of local people. It allows to understand their cultures and traditions trough immersion, which is the best way to discover.
The other way around is also true, when I host someone, it's a bit like if I was traveling!

Interests

Traveling, playing guitar, computers (linux, bsd, networks), economics, fishing, partying, byking, my dogs, meeting people, learning languages and understanding cultures.
