Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

In a world where borders are strictly drawn and people get more and more hostile to "outsiders", opening one's home freely whenever you can and being receptive to the kind of exchange that Couchsurfing promotes is a wonderful reminder of an enduring humanity. Sadly, I am not able to host at the moment as I do not have a fixed base at the moment but I definitely hope to do so in future, as I strongly believe in the reciprocal nature of this platform. I I think connecting with locals in the city you're heading to is always the best way to get the most out of it.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

Teach: If you are interested in learning more about India, I'd be happy to share my knowledge on my own country whether in terms of talking politics, cooking an Indian meal, recommending good Indian literature or doing some yoga.

Learn: I love learning about new cultures, whether it is in terms of history, food or culture. I would also love to know more about the city I am travelling in from a local, from sights and food recommendations to customs and traditions

Share: A love for travel, exchanging stories and mutual respect.

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

I hope to have a chance to share my culture and interests with my host. I am friendly and easy-going without being intrusive and while I would enjoy spending time with my host, exchanging conversation and doing some exploring with them, I also like having my own space to discover a place so having a balance is important to me
