CURRENT MISSION

Meeting people from different countries is the most rewarding thing I know!

ABOUT ME

My name is Arnaud, I am from Bordeaux but I have been living in Lyon for 2 years. I travel a lot for my job and it gives me the opportunity to meet people from around the world. I am really curious and I love to learn and to discover something new and on the other way to share the things I know.

PHILOSOPHY

living by learning and sharing

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Teaching languages, cooking, showing the city, giving some advices about my city or country and give accommodation but only during the week end as I am not really often at home due to my job during the week.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I haven't done so much as I just start to be involved in CS. I have only attended to Thaï lunch and shared my skills in Thai food.
