Hi! I'm Simon from France !
I am a slow hitchhiker who likes to take his time while travelling and get in touch with local people, share experiences, cook, party or play cards!

I came back recently from a 1 and a half years journey in Australia and South east asia.

I'm now hitchiking in Portugal to visit some friends, practice my surfing skills get to know people and enjoy summer !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To discover new places, to meet new people to cook together, to get in touch with local peole and to learn new languages !

Interests

I practice balance and strength exercices in parks in the street and I like to do gymnastic when I have an access to a gymnastic Hall.

I party a lot in festivals or in bars because I love to meet new people and the energy of the music on stage !

I like outdoors activities, surfing, hiking, climbing, wild camping, fishing !

Otherwise I think that hanging out with friends, playing cards or any board game is a lot of fun!

I like to speak about politics social and environmental matters when it’s the right moment !

Music, Movies, and Books

In music as in life I'm very eclectic ! Sadly I don't play any instrument but I'm listening to : electronic music ( techno, drum'n Bass, Trance, house, tech house, jungle) jazz, African musics, rock’n’ roll and metal.

I also love reggae music, afrobeat, funk and blues! Always open to new suggestions ! :D there is a music for any time of the day!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did survive in wildness a couple of days with a friend as I was 12 years old ^^ I used to build a lot of different prehistoric weapons, fish and collect fruit and nuts in the forest !

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to learn new skills, cooking recipes, to build stuffs in houses.
I’m also interested in new languages even so I still have a lot of progress to do !

I can teach you how to do a handstand or a human flag for instance ! :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can help you to cook, with housekeeping, in the garden or to fix anything I can at you place ! :) I can teach you some french and static strength gymnastic skills and flexibility exercices as well
