CURRENT MISSION

Travelling around Europe

ABOUT ME

Hi everyone, I'm Antoine, I'm 32 yo, I'm french but I've been living in Montreal for 4 years and half. I'm a journalist, I work for a major french canadian website. I've recently decided to stop this routine for three months to travel a bit. I'm going to Europe in September to visit my mum and my friends, but above all to travel around this beautiful continent.

I'd been living in Rome for a year when I was 24, but this is not enough, I need to know more about european cities. That's why I'm planning to go to Naples, Dubrovnik, Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Warsaw, Copenhagen, Budapest, Edimburg, and to many other cities.

I hope this will be a meaningful trip (not just basically touristic), that's why I created a profile on Couchsurfing. I wanna meet interesting people with whom I can exchange about a lot of things. This is new for me, but I guess it's gonna be alright :)

PHILOSOPHY

I want to travel to know more about the continent where I grew up, to blossom a bit (I guess it's cliché, but that's true) and perhaps to make new friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
