Hi everyone ! 👋
My name is Jean-Vahé. I'm a 30 years old parisian. I'm going to visit Japan this autumn for a couple mounts and then go to Armenia, the country of my ancestors.
I'm a filmmaker. I'd like to film your country. 🎥
It's my first time on this website ! Shall we meet ?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

🐣 1st time using Couchsurfing !
🌱 But I already did WWOOFing (volunteering on organic farms) in more than 15 places !

I want to meet locals to experience the life as it really is aborad and not stay on classic tourists paths.
I'd like to feel the lifestyle you have, your habits and way of being that are probably very different than mine !
I'd like to discuss, debate, learn about your culture and your history.
