Hello everyone!

My name's Thomas Le Guillou, I am a 27 years old.

I grew up mostly in Paris, which I know very well. I have two sisters and a brother and tons of cousins. I must say growing up in a big family gave me the thrill for community life: for instance, my parents have been hosting people from everywhere in the world for 12 years now. I think it's always great to get to learn about people's lives all around the world.

I currently study Medicine in Paris. I hope to become a surgeon on day.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I decided to go travel in Iran in May 2016 because a good iranian friend of mine, Sanaz, who used to live in Paris for a while, told me Iran is "the best place on earth". I decided to go figure it out by myself!

Unfortunately, she won't be here at the time I arrive in Tehran, so I hope to meet and be hosted by people everywhere I go, because it's always the best way to discover a country: by its people!

Interests

I am passionate about litterature, playing all kind of instruments (clarinet, guitar, piano, ...), fencing and all sports really, and drawing.

I love to travel as well, and get to learn from people: The past years I traveled in the US, Oman, all around Europe, Egypte, Laos, Myanmar,...

In Paris, there is so much to visit. What I like to do when foreigners friends come to visit me is to show them what I like to do in Paris: bike everywhere, climb the rooftops, go visit the Anthropology Museum of Paris, go to good and cheap restaurants and bars etc.
