About Me

Hello to you!

I m a malgasy french student who work in a company insurance in Paris. I was born in France but I have lived in Madagascar( not the film but the real country, and yes it exist :) ) for 15 years. I am in Paris for 6 years now.
I am quite open minded but I really like to discuss and debate with people with other culture.

I have not traveled a lot compare to many host on CS. I have been to Madrid, London ( I love that city but it s too expensive), Munich in Germany and Zurich only.

I am quite new at CS and receive lots of request so please don 't hesitate to personnalized a little bit your request and tell me about your plan.
I am really open to all types of CS either couple or single, guy or girl. I won 't host more than 5 days in a row for one CS and won 't host CS that are too shy to speak.
I am on english learning right now so if you speak english really fluently it s a plus but if you have also done amazing ( hitchhiking, sport, travel on weird countries or beautiful countries) is a plus also.

DON T READ THE TEXT BELOW IF YOU ARE USE TO PARIS

I also answer to any questions on Paris that I can even if I can 't host you. Here are some:
1) Can we go to the Versailles garden without going to the castle? Yes and it s cost about 10 €
2) What is the best for transport in Paris? I think if you stay more than 3 days, just take Naviguo forfait semaine for 22 €. http://www.ratp.fr/fr/ratp/c_20597/forfait-navigo-mois-et-semaine/
3) What can we do in Paris? A lot of things. I would recommend the champs Elysées, eating Macaron at Pierre Hermé store, going at the Arc de Triomphe and ... Speaking to me :) You can also go see movies in french to learn french maybe or go to the Opera.
4) What is the cheapest way to go from Beauvais airport to Paris : the cheapest way is the bus ( 12€)
5) Is it better to send request in french or in english ? As a host, I personaly prefer request in english because the purpose of CS is discover new culture and also nesw langages. Besides request with bad french are quite aweful even if it s valuable!

I will post soon free activities to do in Paris when I will know this place well.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have discover CS with a friend who has done that as a host! It was a great moment as I have never met American before that. Oh yes I have never been in the USA yet.
Since I will not have the time to travel a lot , I would like to meet travelers who tell me their story !
For example, I want to go to Asia but I don 't know where. Africa is also on my list.
I have only host 3 people when I wrote those lines, but the 3 of them was notable in a good way or bad way. the last one was awesome with her joyful behave and lot of story to tell.

Interests

Sharing sharing sharing : I would love to hear the story from different travelers.
Now I am intersted in people who are hitchacking in Europe, I found that fascinating.
I love also tasting all types food so if you are a good cooker don't hesitate to contact me !

Music, Movies, and Books

My favourite Music: I don t have really a type of music. I just switch on spotify and listen to it. For the moment, I am going back to malagasy music. I won't give the name as very few of you would know them :)
Movies: I love series as Sherlock Holmes or GOT ( the new season is coming guys! ). I also like movies like Divergent, labyrinthe?
Books: I like economics books and am looking now for books describing alternative way of life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Nothing really special, I just realized that life is really too short so I try to enjoy it ! Doing 24hours- travel to Madagascar , to stay there only 6 days!

Teach, Learn, Share

Share: at the verge of my 25 years old , just realize that you have to do things now and not wait wait and wait. there are a lot of people who have dreamed to do a lot of things and have never done it. I am following my dreams in the memory of those people!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am really cool so for example you can invite your friend at home the morning and afternoon as long as they don't make too much noise
I am new to CS so I can accept people even without references because I know how hard it is with no references !!
Unfortunately I am working so I will not have plenty of time to speak with you but the evening it will be a pleasure to discuss with some drink obviously.
