My name is Bjorn, I was born in LA but moved back to France ( where my parents come from) at the age of 3.
I have lived all over the world, but I mostly grew up in New Zealand from 2004 until 2011.
I now live in Paris, where I can combine my marketing studies with my goals in sport ( Badminton).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I represent USA in Badminton and I am trying to qualify to the 2016 Olympics to Rio.
Although I am part of the USA team there is no funding for the athletes in this sport. In order to qualify to the Olympics, numerous tournaments need to be played to get the highest possible ranking, which is hard to do on a tight budget!

However, I have travelled the world going from tournament to tournament on the international scene and have lived some unforgettable experiences!
