Hi,
I'm Jonathan, 36 years old, living in Lyon since I am born. Since 2013, I am dad of a 2 years and a half boy named Alexis.
I like going abroad, having opportunities to meet people, other cultures, nice places.
Working in an international company by choice: to meet and be in touch with people from different countries and cultures.
I enjoy travelling and meeting people with other background, ideas.

Kind of people I enjoy: Generally those who think that "CS is a great idea". Also people respecting other people's needs for time, rest, ideas...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To live my travel as a shared experience and not as a tourist.
To meet other people, get connected and 'feel' a city, a culture, a place... as if I was living there...

What I am looking for: share experience from locals, can be for a short tour in the city center, in nice places. Can also be for good terrasse or restaurant I appreciate a lot.
Exploring together is good but if not possible, I am flexible and very autonomous: if you have no time or do not wish to join me in my visit, I am not afraid of "being with myself" and I'll manage to take care of me. So no obligation of any kind, really.

Interests

I am interested in photography, I have a photo blog and would like one day to live from my skill and passion.
I usually take benefits from my travel and vacations to practice, even if sometimes people get a bit bored at stopping every 5 min for "just another one picture and I'll join you"... :-)

I am also practicing crossfit, yoga and gymnastics because 36 years old is not so old! ;-)

Music, Movies, and Books

I am fond of movies. I guess I got that from my father who owned a cinema when I was a kid.
I especially like "eye openers" movies like, taking you to another level of conciousness about you or the world surrounding you, like:
American Beauty
Cloud Atlas
Edward Scissorhands
The Shawshank Redemption
The Elephant Man
One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest
American History X
Gattaca
The Road
Interstellar
...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Kayaking in Svaldbard (Spitzberg) among icebergs and seals. That was an incredible experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

Photography, French language, French cooking, fitness advice, economy...

What I Can Share with Hosts

As said above, I am flexible, so we can share time and food and in that case, I can participate to shopping and meal preparation. Or I can also take care of me if you have no time of if you are not "in the mood".
