ABOUT ME

My name is Pierre-Yves, I'm 22 years old, from Lyon, France. I'm actually an exchange student in the University of Western Ontario, in London Canada and I finish my bachelor degree in Information & Communication. Next Year, I will do a Master Degree in Journalism in Lyon.
I'm also a writer for a french webzine about Snowboard called Switchmag.
I loved sport, espacially all kind of extrem sports as Snowboard, Skateboard, Wakeboard, Bmx and so on. I practice a lot Snowboard and Skateboard.
I someone really open-minded, eager to travel and meeting.
For me couchsurfing is maybe the best way to meet new people all around the world during a travel and it's why I will use it during my stay in North America

PHILOSOPHY

I want to meet as much new person as I can during my travel. I think that the best way to really have an opinon about something is to discuss with others about it even if they don't have the same thinking about it. I'm here to learn, to discover and I will be glad to teach back things about my country.
