Hey everyone! Keen to meet people as I am doing a little trip around Asia. I am Charlie, French-born Chinese, from Paris. I lived in a several countries including France, the US, Australia, China, the NL and now in Spain. I love meeting different people and practicing languages. I speak fluent French, English, Spanish, and Chinese like a 10 year old. Enjoy conversing about various topics: sports, dance, music, politics, emotional intelligence, impact investing, business, finance, meaning of life. Anything, really. Also love soccer, I'm a FC Barcelona fan so if you cheer for Madrid don't even bother sending me requests. And love skating, playing the guitar, dancing..
Interested in Dancing
Interested in Economic justice
Fluent in English
Learning Chinese (Simplified)
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
Meet travellers & locals. Embrace a minimalist lifestyle.
Music, Movies, and Books
Recently I have been much into Latin music such as Salsa & Bachata, still at a beginner's level. I also enjoy electronic parties & festivals, once in a while (or maybe a bit more!). I don't really have a favourite movie, but I do love thrillers, especially the ones from Christopher Nolan. No favourite books either, but I really like the one called "The Promise of a Pencil: How an Ordinary Person Can Create Extraordinary Change", from Adam Braun, an American social entrepreneur. I am currently reading "The vegetarian myth" (to have different perspectives on things!)
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Hitchhiked from Paris, France to Venice, Italy in 2 days. Backpacked in Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia and Sri Lanka. Shared my beer with a homeless man in Spain. Didn't understand a word he said that evening but he seemed thankful.
Teach, Learn, Share
What could I teach? Maybe the languages I speak, topics related to business and finance, or skating!
What I Can Share With Hosts
A good conversation/ a drink/ a meal A good laugh as well
My Interests
Love cruising a city with my skateboard! This is something I am addicted to. In August, I am planning to travel to Colombia with my board. I also hearing about people's stories, understand where people started off from and where they are aiming at.
