I live in the center of Bordeaux. Although I can't host right now, i'd be happy to show you around the city and to share my favorite local spots. Especially if they involve food and wine. I'm interested in learning about cultural differences and hearing great stories.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's a great way to discover new cultures and hear amazing travel stories. I mostly use CS as a host because I want tourists to fall in love with the city I live in, I try to make everything I can to make their stay a memorable experience !
