Overview
About Me
Such a hard task to describe you by yourself... but I'll try!
Like everyone here I suppose, I like to share cultures, meet inner people, travel in a different way...
I think to be pretty open-minded, spontaneous and positive attitude. I'm never bored. I used to travel a lot hitchiking, but fortunatly (or not^^) I studied things which interested me a lot and I found a job I love in the same city. So, in order to acomplish my thirst for travel I try to move each time than I can, going to see family, friends or just new places I don't know with my little van. I am fond of sealife, walking throught cities in unknown streets, dancing in little bars and little funny urban photografic details.
I try to be as ethic than I can, doing things properly, but keeping the childhood innocence :-) Pretty enthousiastic for any kind of activities, people say I have a lot of energy!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I'm on couchsurfing to find a new way to travel, make my hollidays unique and different, learning from new people.... And just because the concept to surf on a sofa makes me smile.
Actually, since the beggining of my travels I almost always considerate turism as a pity for environment and places I went: big resorts, privates beachs, small villages of only restaurants and no everyday life. I prefere to know well some part of a territory than just consume and "check" points of a check list, or pay a lot all accomodations for people serving me.
I think that is really why I am on couchsurfing: I hate travelling througt hotels, I prefer to travel through people :-)
