Hi I'm Hélie ! After spending a year in the US as an aeronautics student in Califronia, I have gone back to my home country for a PhD. As part of my PhD, I am taking part in a conference in Washington DC on November 19th-21st. I thought it would be nice to take a week off and discover Virginia after this event.
I am a very outgoing person, always down to meet new people and visit new places. I love the outdoors, hiking and climbing - overall I will always be down to do any kind of sport. I have been climbing indoors in Paris for the past year and I would love to discover outdoor climbing in Virginia, especially since I've heard a lot about the climbing spots in the region.
Last thing about me: I love craft beer and I know how much America is a pioneer concerning that matter. Among the many plans for my road trip I intend to go discover a few micro breweries along the way and I would love to go grab a beer with my potential host !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think Couchsurfing is a very genuine way to meet people around the world; traveling is always better when surrounded by locals that have so much to share and to make you discover.
