ABOUT ME

Bonjour,
I am Ben. Native from Lyon in France, the wind brought me up in Avignon after a long stop in London, then Montpellier. My previous work (that I left 15 days ago) was very time-consuming so I don't know the region really well. Therefore, and before restarting a new job (probably in september, and maybe not in Avignon), I want to ride my bike around to see the most beautiful sites in the area, visit and taste most of the Chateaux of, among others, Chateauneuf du Pape (not the same day...), enjoy the cultural heritage of the region.
Of course, I want also to travel in other country(ies) during this time, my choice is not really defined but Asia is attract me.
So as you can see I'm a rookie couchsurfer, so please be cool with me ;)

Personnaly I'm an European open-minded, independent, freedom lover and well-educated personn (I think, my friends will descibe me better!)
I'm passionate of history and architecture. But I also like many forms of culture and arts (street art especially). I like litterature as well even if I'm not finishing all the books that I start...
I love sports, I practice tennis, diving and snowboarding and I really enjoy trekking during 2/3 days mountain with friends.
