Hey guys!
My name is P-A (which stands for Pierre-Antoine but that's just way too long for a name). I am French but moved out of France at 18 to study 3 years of Economics in the UK and then moved to Singapore to work as a shipping/finance analyst. After 15 months I decided that the traditional corporate life that I was experiencing did not match with my personality and that I wanted to be able to truly be myself at work like I am outside - so I quit, and decided to take up a Masters in Innovation and Entrepreneurship next year in Barcelona! I am now slowly (very slowly) making my way back to Europe from Singapore and will be travelling through India & Iran where I would love to meet you "locals" to understand your culture better, share experiences, visions of life, or just make cool memories!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My ideal type of travelling is a balanced mix of solo visits of sites to truly take it in and social times with locals to meet the people who live in the country, learn and understand more about their culture and feel enriched not only with great memories but knowledge at the end of my stay. So I love to meet people from and living in the country I come to :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I practiced skydiving as a sport for a while, I'm now on 32 jumps!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn how to cook a specialty that I didn't even know existed before I try it out - it makes the tasting experience so much more complete!

I am interested in sharing and hearing about all types of experiences, be they good or bad, happy or sad. Past experiences are what defines who we are today, and I'm convinced that each person has something unique to teach you based on her own personal experiences of life.

Also happy to teach about anything that I would know - but I don't know what I know right now!

What I Can Share with Hosts

My travel experiences, my experience of university in the UK and of working in Singapore as an expat, my vision of life and motto of "trying everything once", and anything that Hosts are interested in having me share!
