I'm Benoit, a French from Lyon and I don't really know how to describe myself ...
Well, I'm an open minded guy looking to meet people and learn stuff while traveling. I think I'm pretty easy to live with.
I try to do jokes in English but my timing and fluency makes it difficult ! But I know I'll succeed, eventually ...

I traveled for 6 month in NZ in a van then decided to come to Australia for a few month before going to Sri Lanka, Indonesia and Thailand.
I volunteered my way through Ireland in 2014 (with workaway.info) and did some in NZ and Australia and will definitively do some more somewhere.
I just love the idea of CS, I didn't do any hosting yet but I will as soon as I come back to France. It's easy to forget about the people when you are traveling and only focus on the sights but CS allows you to do both.

CURRENT MISSION
Seeing as much of the world as I can. Trying new things, new experience, new food ...

PHILOSOPHY
Treat other as you want to be treated

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

To meet people while I'm traveling and to have some good advice about the things to see. It's a good opportunity to meet locals as you keep meeting travelers in backpackers (that's nice too, of course !).

I try to learn guitar and I sing a little
