About Me

UPDATE JULY 2017
I came back from the UK so I am now available to host people. However I will expect the CS to be respectfull and do not treat my home as an hostel. Moreover try please not to send me requests one month before arriving in Barcelona as I usualy don't know what I will do within a week.

CURRENT MISSION
Wwoofing around the UK. Volunteering in farms in order to learn technicals things (gardening, making cheese, working wood, taking care of the sheep, cows...).
But also working in bars, restaurants to improve my cooking.

ABOUT ME
I come from, Toulouse, South of France.
I am now living in Barcelona. I am interessed in the minority cultures (language, culture, literature...) and that's why I studied the occitan language (language from South of France born in the 9-10th century and still spoke nowadays) in order to organize cultural events around it to promote its use and make it alive.
I think that the differences have to be assumed, respected and highlit in order to know each other better.

***********
Note that in the reviews about me, the hosts are talking about "Flo & Pierre". That's because I started to use CS with my friend Flo in order to travel around Europe some years ago.

PHILOSOPHY
Being ready for new experiencies, respectfull and open-minded.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I think that it is better to meet local people when travelling thant going in an noisy hostel.
