Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting when I can (I'm usually busy),
Travelling when I have the money and the time for!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted people in Paris, and I couchsurfed in the US and in Amsterdam.
After having been unable to host and travel for several years, I hope to be back surfing couches soon !

Interests

hum... OK let's give the control to the rational part of me and make a simple and not helping list :
-hopeful and passionated people (I don't really understand people who are not completely into what they are doing)
-art and science (I love art Museums and history even if I'm really not knowledgable about it, and sciences/philosophy are awesome ^^)
-movies and video games (I know, I already said Art, but some people for some reasons don't include them)
-politics (nothing taboo when there is respect and/or alcohol :) )

• culture

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Not being the "most amazing thing in the world", diving in Guadelupe and Hawai'i was awsome !
Basically, living in Hawai'i was terrific in itself.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you french and french culture if you're ready for some cliché. In fact, I'd love to. But since I'm a terrible cook I won't be able to teach you anything about food.
I can also teach you biology and evolution if you're motivated enough to listen to me being lost in my own explanations, or if you want to see powerpoint presentations ! Alcoholic drinks may be required.
