//Hey not hosting atm! Sorry, all the best//

Hola beautiful people,

I'm a 32yo Frenchie currently living in Montauban (close to Toulouse, south of France). Before that, I lived in Montreal and NYC, working in the music industry. Currently I work as a freelancer, representing a couple of artists - it is hard work, but I love it ! :)
I've also studied Japanese and History at University in France so I'm pretty curious about other cultures and I love learning new languages.

I've traveled a bit, done most of Southern Europe, been to Japan and Korea, drove 11000km around the States and decided after my first bachelor degree to start a working holiday in Australia which made me fall in love even more with CS, as I've been hosted by/have met awesome people through this social network.

Although I know that some people do not share the same opinion about CS than me. Also when I host people, I want them to make personalized requests, as I would do the same if I was requesting a couch, because this experience is about humans, not free accommodation!
So I'll ask you to mention something about cats if you wanna be hosted by me, if not I'll refuse without any reason because I'll know that you didn't read my profile :)
Fair enough isn't it?

I'm pretty talkative, I enjoy going out with my mates (discovering cities by night is one my favorite thing), and food is my passion!

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

It's not my first time on CS, I've already hosted some people with one of my flatmates in Paris, and it has always been an awesome experience and a great time:) I've also been hosted in Japan a few times, once again the cultural exchange was very fulfilling. I'm definitely not looking for a free couch or a way to save money!
It's important for me to experience the country I'm visiting through the eyes of a local and I think that CS is a very good way to achieve that. Also, I'm always grateful to CS, because it allowed me to meet so many interesting individuals I wouldn't have crossed way with otherwise.

Intereses

- Music, my work and my main interest.
I'm always happy to exchange on this topic and also learn about my hosts' favorite tracks or their countries' music history.
One of the best ways to discover a city according to me, is to go to a gig and meet the local scene :)
- Dance
- Everything related to food and beverages ; I love to share food, the best way to warm your soul.
- Meeting new people
- Art
- Just walking around ; I can take a random bus and then walk in a unknown neighborhood for hours.

And lots of other wonderful pictures/memories in my mind that would seem ordinary to most people but are very dear to me.

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

Conversation, generosity, travel stories, food (I love cooking, dont know if I'm great at it but dont think I'm bad either), music (the thing that really connects people together according to me) and we'll see, everything depends on the moment!
