Aloha people! 🤗

Im a Frenchie that lived 7 years, between Copenhagen, Warsaw, Gdansk and finally Prague! I met absolutely awesome people on CS, I’m feeling privileged to had the chance to build many life moments and memories. Jobs fill your pocket, but adventures fill your soul, it says.🚞 ⛰

As a person I’m very sociable, talkative and enthuastic about travels stories! Easy going in every social interactions as living abroad, travelling (especially by train!) is offering us a different perspective on things.

Ah, also! I'm a nature lover, I can take train for on day trip heading 200km in countryside just to have a run/hike and enjoy quiet moments, escaping from civilization. 🌳

Connecting to these wild spaces, trips to Baïkal Lake and Patagonia are on my dream list. 😍

If I would have once sentence as a leitmotiv : start where you are, use what you have, do what you can. Life will make it all.

If logged out from CS, you can always contact me on : https://www.facebook.com/baptiste.pardessus

Kind reminder: if you live until 80 years old, you will live 4160 weeks. Not all of them in conditions to have high social interactions. Time is precious, cannot wait to share some of it with some of you! 👋

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

How comes Couchsurfing?

I discovered CS when I was for the first time in Poland (Kraków) and since many years I met a lot of great people. For me, it's way more than hosting or being a guest, it's a way to develop cultural exchanges and very often build great relationships through continents!

Experiences?

Absolutely always memorable! I never had a bad or embarrassing experience while I was hosting or traveling.

Teach, Learn, Share

Can teach French my mother tongue and try to be a good chef! 👨‍🍳

After English and Spanish, I learnt Polish enough to have basic conversations and funny jokes. I wish to learn Russian.

Sharing all life experiences and travels that make people more tolerant and open minded.
