Hi my name is Tristan and I've come to France because it's always been my dream to learn French.

I am hoping to pick it up relatively easily because I speak other latin languages... On verra!!!

I am planning on living in Montpellier or somewhere else in Southern France.

I am an English language teacher with over 10 years' experience. I am also a certified English-Spanish translator and am generally passionate about languages and education (amongst other things).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have surfed with people in Colombia, Brasil and Costa Rica, it was always a fulfilling and enlightening experience and I hope through Couchsurfing I can make new friends in France.

Interests

Capoeira
Plants
Food quality and security
Feminism
Human Rights
Anti-capitalism

Music, Movies, and Books

Reggae
Hip Hop (especially French/Brazilian)

I mainly read books about history and anti-racism, but am also keen on fiction.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm super proud of the education projects I created and ran whilst working in refugee settlement in Brisbane. I made lifelong friends and learnt so much from my students. It was very stressful and sometimes overwhelming - but I will cherish those memories for the rest of my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

Always happy to do any language practice with keen participants.

I love learning about places, people and history in general.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love cooking! Making food for people is one of my favourite ways of showing my appreciation towards others!

I am generally pretty flexible and easy going!
