About Me

I'm always curious and eager to learn but I would call myself a freelance artistic director. After acting and teaching theatre for a few years I'm now organising events.

I love listening to music, create, share, get to know about different cultures and of course traveling. I like to read as much as I can from Harry Potter to Paulo Coelho and many more.
I love learning new cuisines and traditions of the people I meet.
I love everything that has to do with performing arts, theatre, dance, music, cinema ...
I love going to different type of events and see what's happening in the world.

I've been going to more and more festival and those also opened me to meditation and yoga. If you want to know more, you can have a look on my new blog here : bengananda.com

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here because I believe life should be shared and that money shouldn't be a problem for anyone who wants to travel.
I also believe that travels forge intelligence and that it is almost the only way to grow the best way you can.
I want to share and to learn about someone's culture, cuisine, books, musics, traditions. I love to see how someone else is living their life, as we all have to learn from all of us.

Interests

I love doing meditation and yoga regularly. I listen to podcasts about different subjects often and can't stop listening to music. It can go from tekno to ambient, jazz, soul and pop music.

I love to write and take pictures, and this is why I opened my blog.

I'm not a good hiker but I love hiking when I know I'm going to see marvellous landscape ;)

I also love to chill, have a good time, enjoy a good beer, read a good book or watch series.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to share about French language and cuisine, about what I know of meditation, dance (went to being France vice champion of latin dance when I danced), I also know some Spain since my family is from Spain and love cooking Spanish meals! I also recently became vegetarian and I love to share new great vegan recipes I tried.
And I love to learn about almost anything, as I said, I'm curious and I try to stay as open as possible in trying to see other people's way of life ;)

What I Can Share with Hosts

My place isn't big but for some nights I can share a couch, a meal and drinks.
I'd love to show you around, even if that means going until the Mediterranean sea for a few days! If I'm free of course.
But here you can enjoy the mountains both in summer and winter and also the Annecy lake on the summer. Will share my favorite places with you as well, so you can take the most of your time here!
