FOREWORD :

I used to travel a lot and I visited more than 30 countries around the world. Now, I try to help travellers as I wished to be helped when I was travelling.

I try to frequently check all requests on the app but it's not always that easy. If you don't receive any answer from me, feel free to send me a friendly reminder by message on my phone (+33 6 26 03 68 98) ;-)

ABOUT ME :

Hi ! My name is Ben, I enjoy travelling in differents countries, crossing the world and all its beautiful places, meet a lot of people and discover locals specialities and culture.

I think that we should try to taste every second of our life as if it could be the last one. Earth is beautiful and earthling are full of life, so I try to make everybody happy and to share all surprises brought by the life.

I think that life is so beautiful to be wasted, so I'm trying to taste every moment and live it out loud.

PHILOSOPHY :
The most important is not the place you visit neither the way to find it but only the people you share time with.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel and I think there is a lot of things to share and to discover meeting local people.

On one hand, it allows me to discover (non-touristic) interesting places, local lifestyle and other specialities and to share these things with a local person.

On the other hand, it allows me to share my experiences, to teach what i've learned (and to show the beauty of the region I live in if I host you).

Life if full of surprise, and the best way to be surprised is to meet people (and not to stay alone in some hostels or at home).

Interests

Have time with friends and others peoples, meet new people, visit cities and try to improve my english and spanish.

Teach, Learn, Share

I really enjoy learning and teaching.

In the last years, I already studied several business department (Marketing, Internet, Logistic, Transport, Management) for being able to find a good job. However, this was not the best way to learn in order to share life experience.

Now, I try to discover others things to learn. I try to improve my English and Spanisg and I wish I could learn other languages (Vietnamese, German and every languages I can learn). And I hope I can learn about cultures and cooking from the world.

As I enjoy to teach, I can share my knowledge and my experiences with whom want to learn about something I've learn (Mathematics, Physics, English, Spanish, French...). I will also be glad to share about travels I've ever done :-)

What I Can Share with Hosts

A lot of things !

The most important is that I want to share good moment with hapiness, kindness and amusement.

As I enjoy cooking, I've learn how to cook some french plate I can make and share with you whatever I'm in France or travelling (only if I can find the ingredients, obviously).

As I said in the last part, I will be glad to teach you what I know and to share what I've lived with you :-)
