About Me

PERMANENT MISSION

Travel the world!

ABOUT ME

I am French with vietnamese roots. I lived in many different places and spent over 8 years abroad. I have been living in Marseille for 3 years now. I work in the shipping industry in IT. I am a calm and thoughtful person willing to meet other people and have fun. When I cannot visit the world, the world can visit me via the couchsurfing!

PHILOSOPHY

To learn to get to know the people and the world in order to learn to get to know yourself. And the other way round...
Improve yourself while respecting good values and principles.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Always ready to host people (preferably from abroad but "active" couchsurfers in France are welcome) and show them my city / region when possible / available.

I have been hosting people more than being hosted myself.

Teach, Learn, Share

It is important to read the profiles carrefully and to fill in your own profile carrefully too.
I would not recommand to do a copy / paste of your requests 20 times and simply change the names...
Get interested in the city and people you visit.
In the end, you will get much more by willing to share, give and not only take.
Do not forget to confirm or decline an invitation if you have changed your plans...

What I Can Share with Hosts

Food, walks, discussions about travel experience, what they do, who they are.
