About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Getting back into couch surfing again and maybe learn to surf the slopes as well.

ABOUT ME

I am Michel, 24 yo, I was born in Germany but grew up in France and Germany respectively.
I will be spending the winter in the French Alps, so looking forward to finally learn how to snowboard!

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy most of the world but never forget your roots

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

After CS gave me friends, shelter and new views on some things, it's time I give something back.
I like to go to CS events, being soccer, meetings, movies, you name it. It's so much fun!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

CS hosts and travellers have been accompaning me on my trip across Canada. They made me fall in love in the spots they have fallen in love with. I got my job as well as my apartment in Montreal through the people I met thanks to CouchSurfing.Needless to say that these experiences are super awesome!

Interests

I'm interested in nature (hiking,bicycling), sports (hockey, lacrosse,...) I also love to cook and eat.

Music, Movies, and Books

Any kind of music as long as it's quality handmade music and no thing from a can.
Actually I don't watch that many films. I prefer getting out and check stuff out.
Mostly adventurous books like Moby Dick or Into the Wild and pretty much everything that makes me feel like I'm travelling at the moment I read.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Crossed Canada from east to west on my own (and with a little help from my friends)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can show you how to cook, teach a couple languages and to always think positively while hiking even though you think that the whole mountain is against you.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good talk, fine brews and decent French toast a few hours later

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In
