I am a long time nomad who lived in France, Germany, Czech Republic and South America. I started a world tour in 2012 from Europe and I have now settled down in Saint-Barthelemy to teach English and Spanish.
Love taking pictures, here are some of them: www.pierregeraud.com

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Since I started surfing in June 2012, I only had good experiences and met amazing people. I don't know if this was luck or if all the people involved in this project are naturally kind ? I still have many countries and couches to explore to answer this question!

Interests

As a professional traveler, I'm interested in all what makes a country special. What's authentic, typical, unique, something I will never see anywhere else.

Apart from that, I love : Photography, scuba-diving, nature, hiking, horse-back riding, wildlife, biodiversity, ecology, planet protection and many other things...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I swam with shark-whales in Baja California, Mexico. I started a world-tour in June 2012... And I'm about to meet you! That's amazing, no? :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Teaching: While traveling, I am very happy to share experiences and explain things about France and about my trip.

Learn : I am happy to learn all kind of stuff as I feel a bit ashamed when I realize that I'm still unaware of so many things. So do not hesitate to tell me everything you know about your country, your experiences, your life.

Share : I listen to a lot of music, any kind of music, always. I would be happy to share with you some of my favorite artists. And of course, we are looking forward to discovering some of yours.
