CURRENT MISSION

to leave a mark - written words, a savvy son, carved initials in a parkbench if necessary

ABOUT ME

Je cherche un CouchSurfer francophone qui peut rester chez moi un mois ou plus. Je vous offre logement; je vous demande un peu de conversation francaise et un peu d'aide dans la maison.

I'm currently keen to find French-speaking CouchSurfers who might stay with me for a month or more. I offer accommodation in return for French conversation (perhaps one day a week) and some help with household chores.

PHILOSOPHY

On est plus longtemps mort que vivant!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm a veteran traveller, have lived in four countries, visited about 30+ more. I have long stated a preference to sleeping on a couch in someone's home than a cold, clinical hotel room. And then someone introduced me to couchsurfing.org. I'm not alone!

Interests

Running, surfing, wine tasting, reading, talking / philosophy

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sailed with one other guy from Aden, Yemen to Cochin, India, then went on to sleep in jungle in a hut on top of a telegraph pole (to keep away from the tigers but didn't keep the rats out!)
