Hey there! My name is Ken, I am 32 years old and I come from France, even though I haven't been living there for a while but I always enjoy a yearly visit back home to catch up with family and friends and I can host surfeurs when I am there. I first discovered CS while travelling around Wales with a friend, we were hosted by some very sweet and generous Brazilian students, and I realized how meeting, sharing stories and moments with strangers made my travels truly special and significant.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe meeting people and learning from them is the most enriching thing you can get when traveling.
