About Me

Je suis etudiante ex-sociologie de l'origin chinoise

J'aime bien voyager et ca me toujours rends heureuse de roncontrer les gens

En ce moment je suis en train d'effectuer un stage chez un fond d'investisement et quand je ne travailles pas, j'aime bien: cuisiner, faire des petits painture, regarder les films, et je lis aussi :)

Desolee de ne peut pas pouvoir saisir plus d'info sur moi, et tous mes reference etaient effaces, je comprends pas trop pourquoi...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

1. I get to choose who I stay with
In a hostel, you’re in a dorm room with up to 10 other people. You don’t get to choose them, so it’s a crapshoot whether you’ll click with them or not. While searching for a CS host, I can scan the profiles to find someone I have something in common with. Maybe they’re a musician, an avid reader or they’ve traveled to my hometown or been someone I want to go. Finding a CS host with a common interest makes for a more personable and unique experience.

2. I get to explore residential areas of cities
CS hosts usually don’t live in the center, where most hostels are, so by staying with a host, I get to see a non-touristic part of the city. In Paris, my host lived about 30 minutes by metro from the center, but in a beautiful neighborhood with not a tourist in sight. Another plus: street food is cheaper in tourist-free neighborhoods catering to locals.

3. My hosts can tell me what is worth seeing
Hostels might try to push their walking tour or pub crawl or the ‘must see’ sites, but a CS host will tell you what they think is worth seeing. In Romania, I didn’t bother going to Bran Castle because my host informed me it was very touristic and not actually Dracula’s castle.
