I am an Italo-French radio journalist working for the French public radio on the upcoming American presidential elections. And I am back in the USA for a SECOND journalistic radio roadtrip ! In 2016, I used Couchsurfing for 45 days, travelling from East to West across the country to report on the presidential election, and it was such an AMAZING human and journalistic experience! Met so many great people and learned a lot from their lives and stories. Many of their voices ended up in my recorder and their thoughts were broadcasted in France and helped understand the US ! So might your voices this time :) Because of COVID, I understand many people are worried of hosting strangers. Obviously, I have tested negative and I am extremely careful about my hand hygiene, I am wearing a mask most of the time, always during interviews, and keeping distances. I have also reduced the number of places I am visiting. I am trying my luck on Couchsurfing this time again, as I look forward to meet people and have interesting discussions but obviously I understand if some of you give me negative answers for sanitary reasons !
