IMPORTANT !!! ACHTUNG ACHTUNG !!!

BECAUSE OF TO TOO MUCH "MASS" REQUESTS OF PEOPLE NOT INTERESTED IN OTHER PEOPLE, BUT JUST WANTING A FREE ACOMODATION, and doing an impersonal copy/past same request to 50 people :
NO READING OF MY PROFILE = NO ANSWER

MOREOVER :

DÉSOLÉ JE NE REÇOIS PLUS LES FRANCAIS chez moi, car ils confondent souvent l'esprit de partage et de découverte de couchsurfing avec un hotel gratuit en face de la plage pour le weekend... (RBnB c'est mieux, allez y ! ;-) )

SORRY NO "LAST MINUTE" couch request ! I cant host you if you arrive this evening or tomorrow...

That being said :
I enjoy travelers, to meet and share culture with people from anywhere.
I try to be open minded, I'm quite curious about everything. I m really interested in cooking, gardening,culture, music...
Im quite a "stay at home" person, but i'll enjoy to show you my place !

PHILOSOPHY

The planet is soon to colapse because of this lovely animal we name man, so we should quickly try to meet each others and share few moments before the end ! (tragic isn't it ?)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate as being one of the first members on CS in my town, since 2006,(yeahaaa 10 years of CS experiences this year, better than any "get verified" or be a "pioneer" just because you pay for it ;-) ) and in hosting people and sharing my way of life and my place. I try to help travellers if any troubles. Try to make them feel like at home, and give them advice about what to do, where to go...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

As a guest
Met couchsurfers in Japan, they were in the mood of partying. We share a part of the day and evening together with other couchsurfers, visiting temple, having restaurant, and pub.
Met couchsurfers in Buenos Aires (Argentina), nice to stay one night, we had a chat and share with a couple of french and argentine ones, but we had no chance to chat with our host...
Been hosted by 2 different CS in Copenhagen. Those were my realy first experiences in CS as a guest. It was very nice to be able to meet people from the place and share with them !
I have few holidays, so i try more to host people. Heving foreign people at home is a nice way to meet and discover other cultures and get new friends !

Teach, Learn, Share

I live just in front of the beach, the mediteraean shores are perfect for swiming, snorkling, diving !
From my place you can access to the beach, to the sea shore path.

Please, note that in your request you must use the word "groundhog", in order to let me know you really had read my profile..., and not making a unique impersonal "mass request" to 50 couchsurfers ! ;-)
