Hi there, I am Sam, a 26 (almost 27 in 3 month. I am a grown up now!) years old english/french brewer (well apprentice)

i am very curious, joyful, and social. I like to discover new things, to discuss with new persons... I would like to visit other country while I am still young, discover theirs culture, habits, foods... I also like to go out at night, taste incredibles crafted beers, walk, make sport (frisbeeee!)

[Google translate this: ] Ué ué ué, je vais continuer en Français! Je suis gentil et mes collocs aussi! On réactualise notre compte couchsurfing dans notre maison à Vileurbanne, et on acceuile les rares voyageurs du moment! On privilégiera les gens qui restent plusieurs jours mais envoyez vos demandes!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think the best way to discover a place is with someone who loves it and that want to share it with other people. I have found that lot of persons on couchsurfing have the same spirit, so it seems to me that it is the best way to visit and travel! Hate to find my next destination in a tourist guide (but keep doing it)

I also try to avoid overcrowded places, in search of authenticity, calm and friendly people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A magical one year trip in a van in South America with my girlfriend <3 WOW!

Attending a concert of the king of funk: Georges Clinton... Wow!

Going down a ice-cold mountain river with friends, bare footed, for no reason and ending up sick and cold at the back of a truck... totally worth it!

Spending four month in Liverpool, knowing no one, and meeting lot of completely crazy people in this insane city!

More recently, attempted a sunset on the top of the Barù volcan in Panama: The only place on earth where you can see the Pacific and the Atlantic oceans at the same time... A kind of magic, still have goose bumps

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to play ultimate frisbee (and nope, it's not a dog game ;) ) and explain this fantastic and international game to people curious about it!
Sharing my tastes in cinema and music (although I still have a lot to learn in this last one), try to talk about politic and the thousands ways to make the world a better place...

Love to learn and understand better the amazing local projects people are lauching all around the world to revolutionize our world (and hopefully save this big blue planet...)

Putting brackets in every sentences (or almost)

What I Can Share with Hosts

My few (but it is a start!) trip experiences, my humour (well I hope so...), good cooking experiences, the lots of legally downloaded movies I have on my hard drive, the discovery of the fascinating world of Chemistry! My beloved girlfriend that is even more ugly as I am! (Kidding, I won't share her)

Long talks about lots of different subjects (movies, politic, sciences...) as long as there is beer in my glass (seriously it is the trick if you want me to STFU: stop to refill me)

Overselling France even if I get depressed when I am stuck in this fascinating corner of the earth

Share my love for craft artisanal beers (I hope to craft my own with a friend one day)!
