I am French and I live in Nancy, eastern France (near from germany).
My level of English is not excellent, but I have the ambition to improve. I think the Couch Surfing can help me.
Although I have not traveled a lot yet, I'm curious to discover new cultures, people of other nationalities.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I heard about this website when I decided to go to Lisbon, alone, for a music festival. It was a great experience, so I continue!
I guess it's a good way to meet nice people and discover an "other" city. Not the touristic city, the city of the person who host me!
I love cities, to have the opportunity to see people live, the markets, the buildings, the daily life of people, sport, food or anything else. Every little thing that makes a place unique. (But I also love nature, of course)

CS is also the way to welcome people wanting to visit my city in France, although I am aware that few people know it (although we have a square considered one of the finest in the world).

Interests

I love cinema, I go regularly (I have a card that allows me to go unlimited).
I don't like watching TV and I have three cinemas near my appartment, it's perfect! I'm a big dreamer and cinema allows me to escape.

I listen a lot of music. I'm really sensitive to music, it has a great power over me!
I saw a lot of concerts these last years. For me it's the best way to live the music.
Besides, I am a volunteer in a concert hall ("L'autre canal") and for a music festival ("Nancy Jazz pulsations"). I am also part of an association that organizes concerts in apartments.

And now, one of my goal is to travel much, as soon as I can!
