Hello everyone, I'm Matthieu, french teacher, living in Congo now. I'm gonna stay here for a while. A few experiences in CS. I travelled a lot, specially in 2022, backpacking for ten months.

I'm really quiet and silent guy, when I'm not teaching in front of my students in school, of course. I read a lot and use to be a traveler. I like to trek in mountains during summer, that's a good way to search peace and silence after a year of sound and fury. My friends tell me I'm a good cook, better than musician I think....

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travel a lot and I tried every way of traveling : hostels, youth hostels, wild camping... For me CS isn't just a way to have a bed for one night or two. I'm looking at the person. I think it's difficult to accept a complete stranger at his own home, but it's also difficult to the traveler being hosted by a complete stranger. So, both of us are in front of something strange.... After this, it's easier to share the experience.
