CURRENT MISSION

experience and see as many things as possible. I want to enrich my life by creating connections with different people from all over the world and enrich their lives with my own unique energy.

ABOUT ME

My name's Jordan. I am 24 years old and am living in Nimes, France right now for the next year, and hopefully longer. I studied French and English Literature in university and just graduated this last summer. I am here in France to improve my language skills and find out of teaching is what I really want to do. I am extremely open minded and dont judge anyone. I love to read, play guitar, skateboard, snowboard, do anything outside, and those indepth philosophical conversations that pass through hours and dissipate through cigarette smoke and coffee cups. I love to travel and to meet new people so this NP is a perfect fit for me.

PHILOSOPHY

To see a world in a grain of sand
and a heaven in a wild flower
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And eternity in an hour

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would love to meet all the new people coming into Nimes and take them out for a drink or food or let them crash on my couch. I've only lived here for a month, but I can still show people stuff. Thursday to Monday is the best time for people to come if they're looking for a couch because I work Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

When I lived in Seattle I hitchhiked up to British Columbia with very little money and no connections. That experience really proved the benevolence of people to me. I never slept a night on the street and never payed for a hotel room. People love to help, and i am always grateful for that help. I've couchsurfed in Marseille, Toulon, Geneva, Amsterdam, Strasbourg, Stockholm, etc. I've never actually hosted anyone because no one has ever asked, surprisingly. I hope that changes this year.

Teach, Learn, Share

The knowledge of each language beyond your own, in fact, engineers a complex system of thought, and constructs an apparatus through which culture emerges. Enrich your life by skipping beyond boundaries. There are many different kinds of Knowledge.
