About Me

Hi everyone !

First, I'd like to tell you "sorry" about my English... I went in Ireland in 2013 to practise English during 3 months but I've lost my level again...

SO I hope you will understand me even so :) I think I answer to few questions you can ask yourself about me in next paragraphs.

If you went to know more, don't hesitate to send me a message, I'll try to answer you as soon as possible. (please check the "last login data" to be sure I could see your message)

Have a nice life :D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I don't really remember how I knew couchsurfing... I think some people I met when I went to Ireland in 2013 told me about.

I confess that I don't have a lot of Couchsurfing experiences but I'm completely in love with the idea and I hope I'll live more Courchsurfing experiences soon.

Untill now, I've host 2 people and we had really fun. (I mean, I hope they agree with me about this ;) ) I show them my city in France and we had looooong talks because I love listening to people to learn new things and sharing with them my experiences, if they are interrested in.

For me, it's so normal to host people, I like hosting friends at home since I was a child. For my parents, it was "complicated" and it "required a lot of organization" so I had to inform them weeks before.
Now I'm a young adult, I have my apartement and I can do it when I went, youhou ! So the CS concept is just so perfect for me.

TO SUM UP :
To meet people from all over the world
To host you and make you feel at home in my house and my city
To show you my country, its advantages and its defaults
To help you to learn French
To share travelling experiences with you
To learn from you
To talk about politic, religion and philosophy with you, if you want
To cook you things I like (especially Reunion Island food)

Interests

I'm interrested in absolutly everything. I'll always find an interrested in any subject, it's very hard to boring me. I love sharing different opinions.
It makes me discover new states of mind and it also makes me grow up and drives me more tolerant.

I'm especially interrested in intercultural and interreligious dialogues. Currently, the dialogue between muslims and others in France is hard. I grew up in a christian family and I have a lot of muslim friends and I've never seen any problem. That's why I'd like to work as intercultural mediator, espacially in Mediterranean region because it's my childhood sea s the best way to understand the wolrd where we live and to enjoy life. I work a lot during university years to pay travels during holydays. Hope to meet you in my way :D
