Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

Why travel for a lot of money and meet few people when you can travel for little money and meet a lot of people?

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Drawn a map of the world in three minutes (no peeking at phones allowed!) (I also carved it on a pumpkin, but that took a lot more than three minutes).

Also, goatherded in China (see picture).
