Marseille

CURRENT MISSION skype Richardblin13009 ABOUT ME like to share ....but please make the différence between Couchsurfing and hôtel / restaurant . If you have nothing to share , please find another place ...... No pets And no Vegan please If you don't drink alcool and want free food I am not the good host for you ..

PLEASE READ MY PROFILE BEFORE MESSAGING. Couchsurfing is a cultural exchange, not Booking.com with a €0 filter. I genuinely enjoy hosting and meeting interesting people — I’ve been doing it since 2014. What I don’t enjoy is receiving generic copy-paste requests from people looking for the FREE bed in town. If you request to stay, tell me why ME. If you can’t spend 10 minutes reading my profile and writing something personal, asking me to give you 24h+ of my time, energy and home is a slightly ambitious trade. These days, most of my life revolves around raising my kids and working, so I’m very selective about guests. It’s not about collecting references or hosting everyone. Quality over quantity. I can host Tuesday evening (1 night), or weekends from Friday night until Sunday morning/afternoon. And please, no friend requests if we’ve never actually met. We’re not building a LinkedIn network here. If I welcome you into my home, come to exchange something — stories, experiences, perspectives, laughter, whatever you bring. Leave me a better person than you found me. I'm into: spirituality, psychology, ultra marathons, hiking and touching grass over alcohol crowded loud places anytime of the day for me.

Please read this entire section as well as My Home section before making a request. From the French Alps near Grenoble, living in Marseille since July 2023. Don't hesitate to hit me up last-minute, also I don't mind copy-pasted messages, but please finish reading this as well as my Home description before. Don't worry I know what it's like, I've been there, I know the struggle. I don't guarantee I'll be able to help, but I'll try. I am not a free hostel, I expect us to spend some time together if possible. Request too far in the future will likely get a Maybe rather than a Yes. I'm a spontaneous guy, I don't plan too far ahead. Within a week is good. Couple of days ahead is ideal. If you support what Russia is doing in Ukraine in any way, you are not welcome here. If you support what Israel is doing in Gaza, you are also not welcome here. If you are here for work or are planning to work remotely during your stay, please let me know in your request. If you are coming to Marseille to do sex work please do not send me a request. Si vous êtes juste à Marseille pour un match de foot, prenez un hôtel. Sérieux.

CURRENT MISSION Motionless traveler for the time being! .... Hosting! Voyageur immobile pour le moment! .... Alors j'accueille pas mal! ABOUT ME I write first in french, then in english sometimes: see down! Je n'aime pas du tout ce type de description!!! alors allons y pour les clichés! Plutôt "bohème", je me crois éclectique mais en fait assez casanier (malgré mon abonnement à Courrier International par exemple)!!! J'ai beaucoup "arrangé" ce côté casanier grâce aux meetings d'Aix ou de Marseille par exemple, et au contact de tous mes accueillis! Je pratique le chant choral et l'expression théatrale/improvisation (ce sont des "grands mots"), par moment je passe beaucoup de temps à torturer de vieux ordinateurs pour les ressusciter et les donner à qui veut (heureusement je suis capable de passer à autre chose aussi!); je suis la plupart du temps en retard d'une saison (d'une année, maintenant!!!) pour m'occuper de mon jardin (et pourtant j'ai des accès de "passion" pour celui-ci). Je partage ma maison avec l'occupante très indépendante (c'est une de mes nièce) d'un studio attenant, un(e) colocataire dans une chambre (actuellement une femme un peu plus jeune que moi et nouvelle couchsurfeuse: "mimi24") et pendant un an (2007/2008) j'ai accueilli un jeune thaïlandais de 17 ans scolarisé au lycée voisin. Un temps, il arrivait que si mes enfants venaient de Paris, Nice ou Aix, je m'organisais pour les loger dans les recoins (mezzanines ou canapé), désormais (en oct 2009), mon fils aîné s'est installé provisoirement quelques mois (mais peut-être déménagera-t-il comme le chat?...) et il prend en charge beaucoup des tâches pratiques de la maison du jardin etc. Çà y est, je m'y suis mis: Here it is, I have made!!!! I dislike this type of description! Then let's go for the shots! I am a bit of drifter, I think I am eclectic but actually quite stay-at-home (despite my subscription to Courrier International, for example)! I practice the choral and theatrical expression / improvisation (they are "big words"), by the time I spend a lot of time torturing old computers to resurrect it and to give to anyone who wants them (fortunately I am able to spend on something else too!), I am most of the time late in a season to care for my garden (and yet I have access to "passion" for the latter). ______ see the "god version in french : I did'nt translate what follow!_________ I share my home with the occupying (it is one of my niece) an independent studio, a roommate (e) in a room (currently a Brazilian so busy that I see barely) and a young Thai 17 years is there for a school year, he learned the french very gradually. When my children come from Paris, Nice or Aix, I try to stay in the recesses (mezzanines or sofa) PHILOSOPHY la jeanpierrade ou jpritrerie ??? Je dis ça parce que je ne me sens pas d'une chapelle, et je ne sais pas affiner maintenant traduction anglaise à venir (j'ai la flemme maintenant)
