Eleanor Roosevelt

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because it's merely a wonderful system to make friends, find people who are on the same page, meet locals and so have a unique and great way to discover a country.
It's a big lesson about trust, generousity and openness.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've ridden a Royal Enfield in India and I survived =o

I drank tap water everywhere I went (except Peru)... and I survived ! I admit I had dysentery in Indonesia though...

Teach, Learn, Share

About language, the more I know the better. And I'd be happy to share what I know.
Actually, in general, I can teach you anything I know (building, stuff about travels, guitar, drums, stuff about computers, climbing, etc.) but I warn you... I'm not really a good pedagogue =)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Photos, stories, maybe a song or two... I'm keen to help in any way but usually, I try to find some time to cook something.
