Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We like to meet travellers and make them discover where we live and share travelling experiences. We didn't find a better way to have a ride with an Aussie, speak about WW2 with an American or speak German with Berliners!!!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We first received someone without being CS members. He was supposed to go at my sister's but she wasn't very available at that time so as we had some we received him and made him visit Normandy a bit (D day beaches, Granville, Saint-Lo). It was a very nice experience that made us want to be members.
We also had a very nice time with Jason and Irina, our Aussie and Russian guests... Then everything went faster, we had 4 requests in a row! A lovely time with denise and Mike, to carry on with our cool Belgians on tuesday, a Morocan guitar player on wednesday and an English Cyclist on Thursday! So great to meet such amazing people!! We travel in our house and everyday's different! ( bon les Français aussi vous êtes les bienvenus ! )
We traveled to California and CS helped to make our trip amazing, thanks to our hosts!

Interests

We're ready for every activities, specially outdoors!
We also like all kinds of sports, but tennis might be #1.
Travel, meet new people and cultures, listen to music and go to concerts, cinema,drink wine (is it a cliché?), and so on...
We play lots of games with friends, and we like to be fancy dressed! Carnaval is one of our traditions.
We love cooking, and eating too... Did someone hear about cooksurfing??
