My name is Gilles. I'm 26. I am a world traveler passionate about immersing in new cultures and learning from different environments. I have lived, worked and studied in 3 different countries over the last 5 years (France, Canada, and the United States where I am currently completing my Ph.D. degree in environmental science). I also visited Morocco, Estonia, Finland, Puerto Rico. My next travel destinations would be Esat Asia (Indonesia, Singapore), and Brazil... hopefully. I'm open-minded, sympathetic, clean and down-to-earth. Ohh... I have a blog that you can visit here: masillife.blogspot.com
I write about my travel adventures (both in English and in French)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travel for fun and I am always looking to learn about new cultures and traditions. Sharing the life of a local can be enriching, and it is always fun to get to make new friends along the road.
