About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I am very curious, I love meeting new people and learning about different cultures. I lived in different European countries and has now decided to be an independent trainer and facilitator in my home town.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I take part in Couch Surfing because I want to discover different countries sharing moments with the locals. I want to have an insight of the place I am visiting, not just visiting the touristic attractions.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

- When I lived in Italy, I used CouchSurfing to travel in Bologna, Geneva and Syracuse. I took part in a group of language exchange and met good friends.
- When I came back to Paris, I tried to surf in France as well, I have been to Lyon for three days, it was wonderful.
- I have often some foreign people at home in Paris. It is my parents’ home so it is not easy to invite people but they like meeting people from all over the world too. This year, we had have, two Italians in September, one of my ex student from Bologna and his friend, two Japanese women, two American men and a German man with an American friend. I also took part of the Exchange Languages group of Paris to improve my English with a Polish tandem :)
