Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment I'm travelling, so I can't offer a couch and may need one, but I would love to welcome you in my home town when I will be back in France, or in Paris, where I study!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I love visiting my friend who study in different cities in France or abroad...
I took part in a student exchange with India in high school: I have been welcomed in my penfriend's family for 2 weeks, then she stayed at my place for 2 weeks the following year. It was a great experience, in India because I discovered a new culture and experience the Indian way of life, but in France as well while making her discovery my region.
As part of an internship in ecology, I spent one month and a half in New Caledonia for fieldwork, and we have been welcomed in a family.
I spent 1 month travelling in Australia, and I have been hosted 2 nights in Adelaide, and 1 week in Melbourne. It was a great experience :)
