After a master degree in Business I decided it was time for me to discover the world and learn languages. I started in 2011 by volunturing as an english teacher in china and then as a french teacher assistant in Australia. My trips should have taken me less than a year but when i came back and started working as an human ressources recruiter I realized I was missing being abroad, waking up every morning without getting to know what I will discover, learn and exchange with people from an other culture. So I left everything and started my journey passing by teaching french in Italia, learning spanish in guatemala, discovering the polyglot world in canada, learning japanese in japan, salsa and bachata in colombia, teaching mathematics in peru, french in india and nowadays being a university teacher in china. I truly enjoy my life and all the experiences I had.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Let's be honest and tell you that even I have been travelling for 7 years now I never tried Couchsurfing. I was most of the time either running to see everything possible, either already having a friend in the place I was going to, either setting down for a while. Nowadays I feel more the lust and the need to share my experiences and discover new people from any culture. I love to hear stories and learn aout other experiences as well as sharing mines. How you will enjoy your travel is mainly due to the persons you are going to meet on the way.

Interests

I love to travel, to speak many languages, to discover new things. I write, direct and play theater. I love photography and board games. I love to dance latin music even if I don't say I'm really good at it or spend a nice evening with a glass of wine, good food and deep conversation.
To be short I enjoy every activity involving creation, discoveries, learning process or deep exchange.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love listening Bossa Nova, bachata, tango music. Otherwise my tastes are quite eclectic but I never remember any names.
I don't watch a lot of movies. I prefer quality over quantity and prefer spending time with friend or discovering places, learning, creating than just being a spectator. Nevertheless I love movies such as "Qu'est ce qu'on a fait au bon dieu ?", "Shutter Island", "Dirty dancing", Tarantino's movies...
I'm not a big reader as well and prefer writting than reading. My favourite book is "L'homme qui voulait être heureux" from Laurent Gounelle, french author.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I thing that since I started traveling all my life became amazing so it seems too difficult to me to choose one thing. Moreover evryone can be amazed by something diferent. So here are few things that are coming to my mind while writing :
- I went to Peru to teach Mathematics in french without having any degree in that field and end up teaching mathematics in spanish
- I have done all my studies on line so my teaching experience at University in china is also the first time for me to go to university
- I traveled every continent and lived in every except africa
- I published a book
- I had my own theater club for few years, was writing, directing and acting in it
- I try to learn the language of every country I stay in for a while

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach french and help in english and spanish. I can teach a bit of dance or cook french dishes for you but most of all I can share my experiences.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would be happy to share my culture, my language, my travel experience. I can also cook french meals.
