Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I met great people with amazing stories with couchsurfing. It gives a sense of community, a positive place in the world where we all contribute to help someone one day or another. They gave me also a chance to meet to their lovely friends and we became friends too. Couch surfing created friendships without borders. With some people, we met in different countries and continue to exchange since a while. I (Eleonore) loves human stories and history and it's often a chance to meet people who explain the story of the country, their own point of view from the inside which is always interesting to hear.

Une chose incroyable que j'ai faite
Amazing, amazing, should think about that... -Participating to a plastic trash collect in a entire village in Indonesia with people from the village and an organization which promotes environmental protection in remote area. - Volunteering in an organization which takes care of people with addictions (drugs, alcohol) or burn out... by gardening, cooking, building natural houses together and creating positive basis in their new life. It was in Northern Thailand. Not sure it's incredible but it was a beautiful human experience. I tried to build a kind of connection between us and homeless living on the subway stations by giving them some hot drinks (without alcohol...) on the week end just to give them some hope...It's not an organization, just a free act to show these people, there is still some humanity somewhere. It's a very rich exchange everytime...
