Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've been hosted a lot... and I host a lot! It is a matter of sharing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm already member of two other world travellers organizations: Hospitality Club and 5W (Women Welcome Women World Wide). I hosted a lot of guests from several countries. Also, I have been hosted by wonderful people in Canada, USA and Australia. If I don't need an host where I'm traveling, I always appreciate to have a coffee or a drink with local people.

Interests

Cultural life (films, reading, theater, listening to music like worldbeat, blues, jazz and rock, go to music concerts), meeting friends, good food, travelling anywhere in the world and interesting conversations.

I also volonteer in an organization helping elder people who live by themselves. I participate to events with them, making sure they are confortable and having quality time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been in France and Spain as I walked on the Compostella road. Moreover, I crossed Canada(Montréal to Victoria B.C.), the American West Coast and USA (West to East) by car, all by myself.
