We all have different timetable so planning in advance might be easier for us.

Grown up in a wonderful little town in the eastern part of France, I moved for studies. Now living in Bordeaux for three years, I'll probably move somewhere I'll find a job next year, if possible abroad.
I hate to be uselessly lazy (but lazyness can be useful !).
How I Participate in CS
Checking CS forums, it's always fantastic to meet CSers. I'm hosting while I have to stay home and would surf when it'll be appropriate !
CouchSurfing Experience
I firstly met CSers in meetings and I started being host and hosting quite recently. This should definitely happen more often !
Interests
Listening people's stories
Sports and games (Handball/Snowboard/Swimming/Running, love Go game and its philosophy and found a new interest in games, wanna play ?)
Reading drinking tea or strong coffee
Camping and nature - freedom of not-known tomorrow. Mountain
Feel the smell of a newly wet forest, the wind blowing in my face at top of mountains, the life which animate big cities and the quietness of little ones, the time trying to catch me up without success, the warmth of coffee waking your body up after a short and unforgettable night
Philosophy
Wake up and go !
Rock'n Roll attitude !
Paradox
Music, Movies, Books
Probably a lot of things ...
Those who makes sense, those giving the feeling to live the story, those making you crying or laughing, thinking or smiling. Plenty of interesting things, always want more time to discover more and share it ...
Would just enjoy anything you want me to discover, giving me the spirit to adopt when watching/listening/reading them
Can't build a best of - how to choose ?? I'm at least always open to new things, and there are so much of them !
Types of People I enjoy
Well ... all of those which are... real ?!
Teach, Learn, Share
I can try to learn you more about french language
I would also love to teach you go "rules" and play with you :-) (This game is just ... brilliant)
One Amazing Thing I've Seen or Done
On my first trip to Russia, I spent the whole journey in the cockpit and the pilots allowed me to fly the plane for a few seconds until air-traffic control asked the pilots what was happening to our flight ... (It seems I quickly lost altitude !)
Opinion on the CouchSurfing.org Project
A simple and brilliant concept stimulating one of the best part of humanity !
This summary is not a replacement for reading references; it's a quick summary to help you get started. At a glance, you can see how many references a member has, and how many of them are positive, neutral, and negative.
In the second line, you'll see how many references came from people who hosted this member, surfed with them, and traveled with them. These numbers won't always add up to the total: some references are not categorized, and some may be categorized as more than one thing.
When viewing this summary, don't jump to conclusions! Things that are negative for one person may be positive for another, and vice versa. It's important to read references carefully and evaluate what that information means to you.
Thomas is not only a good friend I spent few years at school with, he's also an open-minded and interesting guy. You can have a good talk around a pint about plenty of topics and it's always good fun! He hosted me many times with very good mood and has always been welcoming to me. I would definately recommand him for good times in Bordeaux!
Take care mate!
We played did a livingroomconcert at his place in Bordeaux.
Thomas invited so many people, it was crazy:-)
We could only stay for a while, so we didn't really get the chance to know eachother better.
Hopefully some other time!

thomas and his flatmates are just the perfect hosts. from the very first time on we felt welcome and like living in their flat already for ages. even though thomas had to work the whole day he always took the time to show us around and to drink a bottle of vodka with us :) he's a really friendly, interesting person who makes you laugh a lot.
merci thomas pour les vacances geniales! c' etait parfait chez vous. on vous attend a düsseldorf!
Thomas is a great host! Although he was quite busy the time I was in Bordeaux, he made sure I had everything I needed. His friends showed me around and we went out for a drink in the evenings (they like Irish Pubs). He also has very nice flatmates.
Thank you, Thomas!
Thomas is a fantastic host. I and my girlfriend had an amazing time in the beautiful city of Bordeaux. I would recommend Thomas because he is well travelled and especially keen on eastern europe and Russia, very open minded and always ready for an insightful discussion (with some tasty wine), and he has very welcoming and interesting housemates too. Great host + great city! Merci enormement Thomas, fais nous signe si tu te retrouves en Pologne.

Thomas is a really nice guy. On the first day, we were managed to meet his two other nice flatmates too, it was great to have dinner with them. He brought us to a winehouse to try authentic Bordeaux wine, a great experience:) He even bought us treat for the dinner (which I feel it was actually us who should buy him a treat; Thomas, next time it is on us, ok?). He showed us some nice places in Bordeaux at night and even before meeting him he even offered to pick us up from the airport if he is free! A very sincere, friendly and nice guy, you should really meet him in Bordeaux. Thomas, hope to see you again and please keep in touch:)
