CURRENT MISSION

Get the feel about a place through the locals and share experiences

ABOUT ME

I grew up among the vineyards of Southern France and really started traveling when in college. This led me to spend a couple of years living in the US, and in 2008 I decided to come back to my roots and settle downtown Béziers. I have been attracted to other cultures and languages for a long time now and I am excited about meeting people from all over through CS! When not traveling, I do a lot of fitness, I also love photography, scrapbooking...I have a 5 year old little boy who is French american and to whom I speak English only so I am very busy with family life and work at the officemost of the time!
I do miss being in touch with people from all over now I'm back to France and love the CS concept for that and all the cool people I've met through it !

PHILOSOPHY

Just do your best and have no regrets!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am often traveling for work and almost always arrange to take a few extra days for myself, and because of that I have often been hosted.

Here in Béziers I hosted :

-Marc from Barcelona (previous host)
-Michelle from Chicago (previous host)
-Jeff from Seattle

My goal when hosting or being hosted is making the experience enjoyable for each other, being respectful of the other person's space as well as being willing to share with them, discover new things and help them get the same experience.
