About Me

EDIT : I can't host because of my... 9m student room

Hi ! Hola ! Salut ! I'm Jean-Marie ^^
Some friends would say I am modest, humble, who likes meditating. A very shy dreamer, alone and independent.
Others may say that I'm someone who likes laughing, that I'm clumsy and immature x)
Otherwise, I'm a simple man :)

I apologize for my English mistakes :S

In coordination with my studies and teaching, I am passionate about Physical Activities (to move, swim, dance, breath) and Sports Science. I like to read many books and scientific article about Human Physiology, Biomechanics, Athletic Performance and Trauma, Exercise Nutrition and Eating Behavior, etc. There are infinite possibilities in the knowledge of our bodies.
Later, I would like to work in the gender minority ^^

I like : my brothers and my friends, quiet environment, qualitative interaction
I dislike : my brothers and my friends, gallantry, mosquitoes

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I knew the routine of working until the end of my 23 years. It was from this point on, that several events ensued until a rare drop in morale : I didn't know the world around me...
It was on a whim that I decided to buy a ticket to leave the next day at a time when I was supposed to be "sitting on a chair".
I discovored Couchsurfing thanks to Bleuenn, a wonderful woman. When I decided to apply at the last moment, CouchSurfing saved me because I could sleep in a freezing rain.

Since then, I have learned that each person is unique. That the world would be marvelous without judgment. That the world is considerably more beautiful than I expected :)

I enjoy meeting people and it is interesting to know each person's life, their hobbies, their journey, their memories. I am (became) a feminist and I tolerate the LGBTQIA+ community. Also, I do not trust limiting beliefs.

I want to know the specialities of various cities, of different countries, and give a souvenir to my friends.
