Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Already some experience now after a few years on the couchsurfing network.

Interests

I like very much hiking,travelling, nature, meeting foreign people and learn from them. I like running (a few competitions, marathons mainly and some mountain races).
I also like history and geography, culture around the world, discovering foreign culture particularly.
Travelled in south pacific several times (french polynesia) Egypt, Tunisia, USA, Russia,Indian ocean (La Réunion , Mauritius) And in most of the europeean countries as well. I have lived as well a year in the carribean, in Saint Martin.

I am well into healthy style of life, particularly interested in all raw, healthy, organic and non industrial and non refined food. As our health should be (what do you think?) our main priority i am always really interested to study and learn about the food and what is going on in our body then with it.
I love to cook and prepare dishes for me and friends!
I began yoga recently to go along with my other sport activities (fitness club, running)
I have been a competition chess player for more than 30 years now, making also a living out of it for about 15 years (giving chess lessons)
