We are searching for nice hosts for all stages of our adventures !

I'm kind, open-minded, curious to know people from all over the world, interested to discover new cultures, to share cultural and life experiences...

I live in Maidstone in Kent in the South East of England during one year (until October 2012). Previously I lived in Blois in France. I work in automotive industry (in a materials laboratory).

PHILOSOPHY

Be yourself and don't play a rule

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can host couchsurfers, interested in visiting Maidstone and Kent, knowing specialities and cultural activities... There are 3 railway stations in Maidstone, so it's possible to go to London in 1 hour!
I'm interested in visiting countries in Europe, Asia, America... Particularly this year, I want to visit England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland... There are so many amazing towns to visit in United Kingdom! So it would be interesting to be hosted by couchsurfers, in order to know their country and their specialities...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Many fantastic experiences in Blois: Alexandra and her friend from Saint-Petersburg in Russia, Isabelle from St Denis near Paris who is now one of my best friend, Andres from Colombia, Patrick from Switzerland, Nicole and Francisca from Chile...
I met lots of couchsurfers hosted by one of my best friend in Blois, Déborah.
I had 2 wonderful experiences to be hosted by couchsurfers, in Mont Saint-Michel with Antoine and in Portugal in Lisbon with Carla&Diogo and in Porto with Luis Eduardo and his brother Jose.
