ABOUT ME

Boring, not funny, a pain to live with... That sort of things ^^
No seriously I'm very easy going and good company. And I don't snore.

I just joined CS (August 2012). I studied in Paris.

I'm preparing a roadtrip to South America from October to December 2012, and I see CS as a great way to meet locals who are keen to share unusual locations and moments with us.
I will be travelling with an Italian friend and we both want this trip to be about meeting people and having some good time rather than trying to see everything in a hurry.
Our main goal is also to become fluent in Spanish after those 3 months (for now we are only speak English, Italian and French).
We're landing in Salvador de Bahia on 3rd October, and our initial plan is to head South towards Patagony via Rio, Iguazu and Buenos Aires, and then head back North towards Lima via Santiago, La Paz, etc. It's only a guideline and we'll reschedule along the way according to our encounters.

Whether you just want to meet us for a Spanish lesson around a cup of coffee (huh... maybe not?), tell us about a good surf spot in Brazil or party with us in Buenos Aires, feel free to drop me a line on that site. I'll be checking my profile often.

PHILOSOPHY

Amel Bent (coucou les Frenchies)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Once we fly back to Europe after our trip to South America, on 23rd December 2012, my friend will be living in Paris.

For my part, I will be in Beijing for 6 months (for my exchange) before going back to London.
Whether in Paris, Beijing or London, we will of course be happy to host and treat the people we met during our trip!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

As I only joined CS in August 2012 I don't have any first-hand experience, however I became in love with CS thanks to 2 friends who live in Paris and who used CouchSurfing for the first time in the Spring 2012.

One week-end they hosted 2 Lithunians. They took them to all the nice bars and "alternative" places of Eastern Paris. On Saturday we all went to Rex Club. The music was sick and they both had a good time. 3 weeks later, they invited us to their place in Vilnius. Awesome memories for all of us.
