Overview
About Me
I live in Nantes, one the coolest city to live in France! I like so much this place and its region. Come to visit us and you'll see... By the way I'm member of the Greeters organisation in Nantes wich brings me as a volunteer to show arround and spend some times with tourists.
I'm very curious of people and foreign cultures, and I want to discover world with my own eyes. That's why I traveled not too much so fare but much more in the years to come.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I will maybe not live here in Nantes much longer and I don't know yet where life's gonna lead me.
But I've got opportunities to travel, among others things in South America and I'm searching for enriching meetings and "sofas" ready to welcome me and sharing their love of Latin America.
All the people I have met for now were so kind. I heard many stories and experiences that are so interesting and that give me the wish to continue to travel with CS and to host again when I will be back home.
Interests
Languages, musics, movies, playing soccer with friends, History, urban effervescence, beers, concerts, crêpes, countryside traditions and lifestyles, meetings, sharing differents culures and experiences. I like to depict my country and compar with others, sometimes to fall in love with these.
Life leads me fisrt of all to meet people and share. It's always about sharing I think.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
The beautiful green region of Galicia (Spain) between moutains and sea and the character, strong but true, of the inhabitants.
The kindness of drivers when I was hitchhiking and so much stories !
This strange feeling on the top of the pirámide del sol, Mexico.
I almost froze my toes during a trail in east Quebec, Canada. :S
The French Way to Santiago de Compostela with my feet, my backpack and dozens of great pilgrims fellows from all over the world!
Teach, Learn, Share
I'd like to absorb the local culture, learn others languages. Why not teach some rudiments of French, English. I like to connect people which have commons tastes. Everything is good to learn !
I can cook, not as a chef but as an average french :D
What I Can Share with Hosts
I like to meet people. I like to learn from their culture, lifestyle, language. I can of course help in the apartment, wash, cook (take care : not all the french are expert in cooking and wines!) and everything. I can try the repair your car ! oil change, breaks, things like this. I can play guitar with you :) I can eat all the chocolat !! :S
