Hello, my name is Shao, I'm French, born and raised in Paris, where i'm still living.
I wish i could accept guests but for now i'm still living in my parent's house... I'll accept guests as soon as I leave it !

I love travelling (obviously) and even if I like every city for they are all unique, I'm more attracted to small towns and wild nature than big cities like NY (says the guy who never lived outside of a parisian flat).

I love talking in English, and I love talking to people from other countries.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

I love traveling and meeting locals, so I guess this is the best place to do both :)

My goal would be to hang out at least once with every person that hosts me in order to know things about their town and themselves so that I can get a glimpse of what it's like to live there.

Interessen

Nature, other cultures and traditions, sports, military-related things, bar-room philosophy.

• traveling

Musik, Filme und Bücher

Favorite movie : Shutter Island or Minority Report

Music : Radical Face, Coldplay and Of Monsters and Men are probably my favorite bands / I love all kind of music though, rap, indie, pop rock, metal, classic, folk... I enjoy everything.

Books : Not reading a lot to be honest, last book i enjoyed was "A passage to India" by E.M. Forster

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Paragliding in the French Alps :D

One time with a friend we decided to walk for one day and a half though the french countryside instead of taking a train. It was absolutely beautiful, we met unexpected situations and it's probably my shortest but favorite trip I've done so far.

I've also been traveling through the US from Chicago to New York, with a decent part of it done by foot and bike.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

Currently learning Banjo. Trying hard to learn German, without success so far.

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

Other than that, well, I'll probably have a lot of stories to share if you're hosting me near the end of my trip :) (hopefully good stories haha)
