Hi everyone, I'm a normal human being, I used to travel a lot a few years back but now I settled down in Marseilles, my hometown. Here Iam a private teacher, helping kids at home to cope with school and life the best I can, sharing my experiences so far with them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Feeling that routine could slowly settle in, I'd love to get in touch with new people and open to new perspectives and different points of view, share experiences.
I think it is much warmer than a classical hotel to actually meet someone and get immersed in their life (ok that one sounds like the definition of CS!!!).
I love the look people have when they discover something new, and I find it inspiring for me to rediscover my environment through others' eyes. When traveling, I would love to make my host feel the same and learn about him!

Interests

Running, hiking, riding bicycle, watching movies, listening to music, chatting about pretty much anything (I do not believe in politics though).
Drinking nice beers and wine around a good meal... and then jogging later to say sorry to my body :)
That's about it for my interests. I'd love to discover yours as well...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveling some places in the world, thinking I saw a decent part of it, and in the meantime, slowly realizing, discovery after discovery, step by step, how infinite this was.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can speak French, English and could refresh a bit my German or Spanish. I have nothing against learning some basics of a new language, a culture I might fall in love with!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm not big on crowdy and loud places, I'm more a home/ restaurant/ pub/ café person. I can point you to nice places to go partying, though :)

I like cooking and chatting, walking around the city or nature, just chilling! If you're interested in beers and wine, I'd gladly exchange about this I love both :)
If you want to discover my region, tell me beforehand we'll visit places around Marseilles!
