ABOUT ME
Last 3 years, I have been travelling by bicycle around Eurasia with my French friend.
During this expeditions we realized a cultural project with ICOMOS, organizm of UNESCO. We did a photodocumentary about the cultural heritage to contribute in its popularization.
It was a grand expirience - lot of challenges in mountains, desert, winter, monsoon seasons, lot of cultural exchange with people and discovers.
PHILOSOPHY
Life is like a travel. We should never stop to discover...
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
During the travel, i had no possibility to host anybody, except in my tent (for several months we brought two tent, an old and a new one, and invited travellers:)).
I am always happy to share with people. I hope I will get soon a possibility to host you.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I learned about couchsurfing during the travel. It was an incredible opportunity to meet people all along the way and to get in touch with culture of their country.
Everywhere, in Uzbekistan, Pakistan, Malasia, Russia, Europe, etc., people were kind, friendly, gave us tips and helped a lot.
That was awesome!
As we travelled together, we used one profile for two. To check out the comments - see the "Crevoise" user: http://www.couchsurfing.org/people/crevoise/.
