COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've got a former CS profile, I'm enjoying couchsurfing for more than 4 years now ! First, I traveled with couchsurfing during the summer 2009, through balkanic countries ( Slovenia, Albania) and Italy.
I joined the couchsurfing community in Montreal in 2011 when I was living there.
In 2011/2012 I hosted several people in Paris in my former appartment

Since last summer, as I'm travelling most of the time I do not have much time to host but hope it'll happen again !

Interests

...Journeys ! And particularly hitch-hiking, or with my old car.

Italy and everything which relies to this country, culture, language, people, art, literature...

As I grew up in a mountain area, I practice every types of skiing, hiking, alpinism, rock-climbing. I really need to come back to my place where I feel at home more than everywhere else. I must see at least mountains one time a month or I get crazy ! But paradoxically, I love Paris and the way I'm living there.
I used to play piano for a long time, and accordion a few years too.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd like to learn portuguese language,

listen to stories and tales of distant lands and countries (I collect them),
learn tango...
I don't know how to whistle...can anybody help ?

share my passion for mountain,
help to discover hidden places in Paris far away from touristic areas,
receive anything my future hosts would like to share with me. And transmit these experiments.
And I can teach you juggling, even with fire clubs if you want to.
