Why I'm on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE It's been great so far, we've met many nice and interesting people, definitely we want to continue doing it!
Music, Movies, and Books
Music (to name few): YMO, Nobukazu Takemura, Ryoichi Sakamoto, The Cure, Dandy Warhols, DAT Politics, Milky Chance, Phoenix, The Strokes, Sugar Babe, Tenniscoats, Tama, Tommy Guerrero, Sebastien Tellier, Portishead, The Police, DJ Krush, Boards of Canada, Aphex Twin, Cypress Hill, Jeff Buckley Movies: difficult to choose but Francois likes them complicated, the ones that you still think about few days after you watched it. Liwen prefers them simple, fun and relaxing
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Francois: I've done a bicycle trip in Japan for 15 days, sleeping in a tent in public parks then living a month and a half like a homeless on the river side in Sapporo. Liwen: I married that French guy who was sleeping in parks
Teach, Learn, Share
Francois: Liwen has great communication skills, I've learnt a lot from her about how to deal with people, how to solve problems by understanding and tolerance. I still struggle though. Liwen: Francois is a great photographer. What's more important is his attitude to life, I am always amazed by how positive and wise he is.
