CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I was born in 1979. I've pretty much spent all my life in the western part of France (Brittany and Vendée). I would say I'm rather quiet, open minded, always interested in discovering new people, new countries, new landscapes, different ways of living and so on. I like my job, I love to travel, I can say I'm happy and I hope it will last.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted my 1st CS in July 2009 for 5 days (Piibe, a lady from Estonia), the 2d one in September '09 for 2 days (Edouard, a guy from Canada)
the 3rd one was a french woman (Julie) who stayed 8 days in hJanuary and February 2010
the 4th CS was Jose Luis, a spanish man (3 days), also in February 2010
n° 5 was Shay (or Seamus), a british cyclist who stayed overnight on his way south in June 2010
Emilie and Tade (n°6 and 7) spent 2 days at home in August 2010
Athénaïs, a french student, and her sister Elodie (n°8 and 9) stayed also 2 days in September 2010
Helen and her boyfriend Mike (n°10 and 11) stayed overnight in november 2010
Géraldine, from France, was the 12th CS at my place (4 days) in Spring 2011
Regi, from San Diego (CA, USA), who hosted me in march 2009, stayed 2 days at my apartment in July 2011; therefore, she is n°13
I also hosted another CS in October 2011, but it was a very bad experience, so that's why I didn't host for a long time.
After quite a long period of time without hosting, Martin, from France, was the fifteenth CSer to stay at my home, during summer 2014.
I really intend to continue : I'd like to host as much as I was hosted !
