I'm Maxime, a traveller from the east of France
.
My dream is to travel to Iceland since a long time, but I also want to go to Asia, Canada, Africa, Russia and everywhere I can !

My next projects : I will go to Kirghiziztan for a whole month in 2018, and go abroad for a whole year in 2018-2019.

I'm working as a social-worker with youth in suburbs I give my help to them, to preventing marginalization.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I prefer use this way to travel because I basically believe in Human (with a big H), I'm convinced that to travel with couchsurfing makes more sense, much fun, interesting and rewarding.
Moroever I can say that my life has changed so many times due to (or thanks to) meeting I've done so I want to keep on meeting people as much as possible.
I want to meet native and local people, everywhere I go.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelling alone Kirghizistan during one month, an amazing experience

Teach, Learn, Share

●I can teach you a bit of french language, a few notes on piano, how to drive a kite or whatever... :)
●I can share all the music I enjoy, movies or knowledge about something special.
●I would learn a few words about native language, what are you listening (and local music), which country should I visit, or everything you want to teach me !

What I Can Share with Hosts

All I know about my region, my country, my language.
Unfortunately I don't have place enough to welcoming someone for a night but I would be pleased to meet and help travellers who want to visit Franche Comté in France.
I can also try to find a solution to host people somewhere else.
