My name is Jeremie, I am French and Iwas born in Paris.
I am 28, I have been living in England for nearly five years, in Oxford then in Southampton.
I got a BA in Fine Art from the Southampton Solent University, that I got in 2015, then a MA from the University of Brighton, obtained in 2017.

I'd be very happy if you want to have a look on my personnal website www.jeremieglaize.com, or you can also follow me on instagram - https://www.instagram.com/jeremie_glaize/ :)

I'll be travelling accros the America from the 24th of January 2019 , I intend to meet many people and hopefully be hosted as often as possible. my itineray still is not so clear, however I plan on starting my journey from California, getting up north to Seattle, crossing the country to Detroit where I have family, heading down south to Louisiana then ending up by reaching North, Vermount or Maine and finishing this exciting trip in NYC. Please get in touch with me, and even if you could not host me, i believe I'd be very happy to meet people aroung for wandering, going to exhibitions, just talking, playing a good chess game or getting down couple of pints in great and cosy pubs ! Hit me back, Jeremy

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Really want to discover the country and people leaving thousands of kilometers away from me.
I love writing and I hope this experience could ossibly also help me to add some texture to this trip.
Huge fan of Steinbeck, hoping to go - deffo - to Salinas and the Monterey area, having read couple of months ago a 20th book of him, Travels with Charley: In search of America, just turned the light on and made me sure about this trip !!

Interests

Painting - have a cheeky look on my website www.jeremieglaize.com or instagram ;) https://www.instagram.com/jeremie_glaize/
Chess player, love a good game of chess anytime, anywhere
Reading
Sports, actually more watching than doing for couple of years, though could change soon
Cooking, I believe my french stews, but also my risotto are quite efficient, though I'd love to learn god things, adn especially juicy pancakes !
