Friendly, interested in all sorts of things, active, non-intrusive guest.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to meet people and see how they live, what kind of dwellings they inhabit, how they prepare meals (not that I expect hosts to cook for me; I would rather if they could teach me a recepy!), what their preoccupations are. I like to listen to what people have to say, I like to understand their culture. And if you care to hear about where I come from, I'll be happy to answer your questions.

Interests

I enjoy outdoor activities: walking around town or to the top of a hill, cycling, running, climbing, skiing, etc. I love history and general culture.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite book is The God of Small Things by Arundhaty Roy, which takes place in India. But I mostly read literature from France and Québec.
