ABOUT ME
Hi,
I'm a French guy living in China. I'm pretty easygoing and I don't mind trying a variety of stuff.
PHILOSOPHY
Enjoy!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I'm not planning to surf for now, but I can host (if my new housemate is okay).
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I met on surfer in Chongqing and I've surfed a bit in Tokyo.
Interests
I'm a French teacher and I love my job.
I'm also like running (restarted it as a routine just recently), reading (Ishiguro, Pratchett, Murakami, Dumas... pretty much anything really) and I'm into free software (not as a programmer but I did do some of the translation for the game frogatto).
As a guide, I fear I'm not very good since I don't really know the city I'm currently living in.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Lived in Swansea, Wales, for two years. Living by the seaside was a fantastic experience, especially since the landscape was amazing.
I also always loved eating but I wasn't able to cook since three years ago. Discovering I could do some pretty cool stuff was quite a revelation to me.
Teach, Learn, Share
I suppose I should start with teaching French since I'm a French teacher.
I'm also into free software, so I suppose I could help you this Linux, BSDs...
As for learning, I'm always good to discover new cultures.
