ABOUT ME

Salut! Hey there! Hola todos!

I'm passionate about languages and cultures. I'm curious by nature and love to take the time to get to know other people. I love sharing my travel experiences and always eager to know what other world travelers have seen/experienced during their trips.

PHILOSOPHY

Give and Receive in a virtuous circle.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Always open to go for a drink ;-)

After spending a year in Argentina and having made an incredible amount of friends through CS I'm just amazed by the power of it. I've tried to be as active as possible in local groups such as the ones of Buenos Aires and Mendoza organizing francophone meetings, hiking outings, crepes party and obviously pub crawls ;-) I'm currently travelling all over South America , doing a 1 month stop over in my beloved Vancouver, pero a partir de octubre en Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia y de vuelta a mi amor Argentina.... antes de volver a mi pais La France dans la jolie ville de Montpellier... Et voilà de retour en France, à Montpel'depuis janvier 2012, ça fait plaiz de regouter la bonne baguette et le fromton bien de chez nous! Et voila sur la route de nouveau, arrivé pour quelques temps dans la ville de la choucroute, j'ai nommé Strasbourg!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have participated in various volunteering projects and thus got to know locals more in depth. I started being really active with CS in Argentina and it was for me a real eye opener. In this world of individualism I was impressed by the fact that there are still a great amount of people who value things such as sharing, hosting and making you discover their culture. Will be back in my country at the end of the year and will for sure continue with this incredible community and this time welcoming foreigners in my hometown. Yep I'm back and now living in Strasbourg, you guys should come to enjoy the great food here!!

I totally recommend the CS groups of Buenos Aires and La Plata as these guys organize events such as camping weekends with huge BBQs and fun!!! Well after spending 4 months in Mendoza, I guess I can add this city into my top 3 of favourite groups!!
