I've been living in Marseille, south of France for about 6 months now. I am a cook in a vegetarian co-op restaurant. I used to live in London for 6 years but I couldn't take my job and the grim weather anymore so I left it all and set off travelling for 6 months in mexico and usa. Was an amazing experience of couchsurfing and wwoofing. Now I'm settled again (in a sunny place with a job I like :)) but I'm lucky enough to be able to take one month of holiday and go to Costa Rica! I like talking about everything, meeting people from diverse horizon, who have an open-mind and a good heart.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Metting local people. I also like the concept of couchsurfing and find it amazing that people open their doors and offer a place to stay without any interest other than generosity and sharing. It totally goes against the consumerism and individualist society we live in where everything has a price and I think it's a really good movement. I hope one day I'll be able to host as well when I'll have a place with enough space!
