Hi! I love hiking, movies, live music, playing chess or just chatting. After some time off I opened the app and found... these.. changes... waiting for things to stabilize and see where they go, but this feels much like a decision imposed by the higher ups to redirect the app to a new public. I honestly don't agree with their rationale and their multiple claims that all this is "for the community". If community is what you care about, and you want to make decision driven by real stats, ask your users first. If it is so easy to implement features now, just implement a form or smth to ask feedbacks. As of now, I would not recommend being hosted by CouchSurfing Usually I am a quiet person, I prefer a dinner with friends over a loud party. But I am very fond of meeting new people and establishing connections! I especially enjoy exchanging with human beings from other cultures, discovering common grounds and differences, and on top of all tasting new food! For surfers: my place is kinda small, but happy to share. I like to change my plans and give priority to friends, so I'll only be accepting requests within 1 week ^^

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
What makes journeys specials is the people you meet along the way. I want to try and deep dive into this philosophy :)
Music, Movies, and Books
I am really open in my tastes. Music: I love to dance on any beat! Might be a lil weird but I've got the energy :D To make me really happy, ska or punk! Some bands I'm ready to travel to see a show of: Gogol Bordello, Rancid, Xiu Xiu, World of Pleasure, Dubioza Kolektiv. Books: lately I haven't been reading much (manwha aside), but I'll always love a good novel. Some of my favourite authors: Coetzee, Saramago, Tolkien, Dostoevskij, Mishima, Toni Morrison. Movies: I really enjoy "festival" movies, low budget indie productions, documentaries or older authors. Some of my favourite filmmakers: Herzog, Kurosawa, Xavier Dolan, Fellini, Bergman
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Got to (California) sober down. +8 years without alcohol! Traversée à la nage de Bordeaux, stretto di Messina a nuoto Slept by tent in a bear inhabited area Ran a marathon
Teach, Learn, Share
I am at ease in the kitchen, I also have some vegan options in my inventory. Nothing too fancy, but I can guarantee it's tasty
What I Can Share With Hosts
I know how to respect privacy and rules, but I am really open to propositions. If you know a nice spot to visit or any activity to do and would like some company, I'd love to join. I can cook something for you, we can have a yoga session or just have a nice chat at the end of a tiring day. I would like to be a friend coming over, and not just a guest sleeping in the other room :)
My Interests
Really, I am open to any kind of artistic expression, wheter it is an archeological museum, an underground photo gallery, a punk rock show or going to the movies. If you know about a nice event or exposition, count me in!
