Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Elisabeth:
I went to Ho Chi Minh with my sister. It was the first time I experienced couch surfing and it was really nice. I've met people who were also travelling and it was great to share our experiences. I couchsurfed in Italy and it was a really great experience ( especially in Sicily! ). I have also couchsurfed in Greece, and again, I had the chance to meet amazing people. I have hosted several people in Brussel and in Montreal (with Paul!) and have really enjoyed it! Paul and I also couchsurfed a lot together in France while we were biking around Southern France.

Paul:
Elisabeth inspired me to join couchsurfing and we had (and still have) a great time hosting people together in our apartment in Montreal. We just came back from a long bike trip in France where we couchsurfed almost everyday and it was such a nice experience to discover my country of origin and meet people from different regions in France through couchsurfing.

Interests

Elisabeth:
I sing opera, I love food and cooking, I like travelling, discovering new places, and meet people from all around the world. I like playing teams sports, even though I do not have any talents in it. I like hiking, rock climbing, running, dancing, and boxing. I enjoy learning new languages when I travel so I can speak with locals!

I am a feminist!!

Paul:
I have recently completed a B.A. in automated manufacturing engineering and I am passionate about robotics, scifi, composite materials... But I really like to learn and I am always eager to learn something new and that has no link with my area of expertise :) I also enjoy mountain bike and I go riding everytime I have the opportunity to do so!

I am also a feminist!

Before being hosts, we did not understand why other hosts were asking this, but since we have received numbers of couchsurfers' requests that did not even took the time to read our profile before sending us a request, we are asking you to WRITE «FEMINISM» IN YOUR MESSAGE IF YOU WANT US TO READ YOUR REQUEST, and tell us why feminism is important for you :)
