CURRENT MISSION

Enjoying youth to meet new people, new cultures, new countries, new landscapes.

ABOUT ME

Hi there! I'm Timothy, from Northern France. I use to travel a lot and I am constantly fascinated with wild places, the diversity of people one can meet while traveling and new cultural experiences. I am currently living in Valparaíso (Chile), but I really wish to take part in conservation/ecotourism projects around the world. I think I'm rather an open-minded person, and I am always glad to meet new people. I do hope Couchsurfing can help me during my travels, and whenever possible I am pleased to offer accommodation as well.

PHILOSOPHY

Personal philosophy? Possibly too zany to explain it in just a few words. Anyway, trying to free my mind as much as posible :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have the deep belief that there are so many things money cannot buy. Couchsurfing may be one of the best ways to enhance human relationships. When I have the opportunity to host, I do not only providde accommodation: I am glad when the hosts can live a great new experience while showing them things they do not know about the local culture, nature and other secrets.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

From the noisy streets of Amsterdam to the mysterious mountains of the Pyrenees, Couchsurfing allowed me to meet painters, musicians, free souls, humble, tolerant, easy-going amd interesting persons. But it especially allowed me to share: share a piece of cheese, a cold beer or simply a bit (or a lot!) of happiness.

Interests

I love sport in general(especially outdoor activities) and art (guitar, singing, writing, music in general, making short movies...).
I want to dedicate my life to environment projects/wildlife protection, as that is really important for me, and I truly believe there are currently many environmental and social issues to tackle worldwide and I simply love what nature has to offer.
