Never an easy thing to tell people about oneself. I am Romain from France, I'm 29. I'm a Sales Engineer and Project Manager for an IT Company (Remote Control solutions, Connected Devices, IoT). I'm based in France (Nantes) but I get to travel a lot for work.
I would describe myself as someone curious, open-minded towards people and cultures. I have a long experience in travelling as well as sharing a flat with 3, 4, or 5 people (in France during my studies, in the UK, in India, USA). I like sports (tennis (ohh yeah!), running, hiking, skiing), listening to music, I love reading, speaking foreign languages (English and Spanish), going to music gigs, translating (what a strange hobby??) hanging out in bars with friends, cooking (Hey, I'm French, I can't help it!) etc.
I guess that's all !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Pretty much for what i've just written in the above sections: to meet new people, to share a good time with them and share their day-to-day life.

Interests

I enjoy people with whom I can talk and share life experiences. I like debating on many topics (serious issues: politics, human rights, education... or less serious ones: e.g. how to prepare a perfect Indian Chai Masala !! or a good Chicken Tikka Masala !)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Living in India for a year. Crazy and really enriching life experience !

Teach, Learn, Share

As a former teacher I'm really familiar with teaching (and learning as well). As I said already, I love to learn about new stuff and I'm really open-minded and easy-going I think, always ready for new adventures and life experiences.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my good mood and my terrible French humor (sometimes funny, sometimes not...)
I can share my likening for cooking and talking about food. I can teach tennis and French too (pick up the one you like most!)
