CURRENT MISSION

Travel and open your mind

ABOUT ME

Hi I'm Quentin!
I'm really curious, always ready to travel and discover new places, especially cities with a good atmosphere, culture, history and a good musical scene ! I enjoy hanging out with friends, have a drink in a bar and go to a concert..
I'd say I'm quite independent and I enjoy doing things on my own...i travelled alone in central america and i'd say this was one of the best experience I ever had!
I'm a passionate of cinema , especially art cinema (most of the time European)and I'm currently a Politcal Science major/Film Studies minor, hoping i'll be able to mix both subjects. I like reading, i'm really interested in politics and international relations and it's always nice to have a chat on politics when one is respectful to you. I really think couchsurfing is a great experience, and I think I have the qualities ( interest, open mindedness, respect) to be a good host!!

PHILOSOPHY

'I felt - therefore I was' (Fitzgerald, The Crack Up)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate in CS by being an host. I've got a couch in my place in Lyon in my living room. We are 4 in the flat, ready to host you!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've "surfed a couch" in Montreal during 3 days. Really good experience, I've observed the city through a different perspective and I've had the chance to party in the Montreal countryside.

Travelled to Israel for 2 weeks.. Exclusively did couchsurfing and loved it (again)
