My name is Benoit, I’m from Benin, and I’m passionate about discovering new cultures and sharing human experiences. I work as a web and mobile developer, and I also enjoy great conversations over a good meal, exchanging ideas about travel, languages, and inspiring projects.

I’m curious, open-minded, and I love meeting people from different backgrounds. For me, Couchsurfing is more than just accommodation , it’s an opportunity to learn, build friendships, and create unforgettable moments.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I’m on Couchsurfing because I believe travel is not just about places, but about people. Meeting locals and travelers from different backgrounds is the best way to truly experience a culture.
Couchsurfing gives me the chance to share my own culture, learn from others, and create meaningful connections. It’s about friendship, mutual help, and unforgettable moments much more than just a free place to stay.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Several years ago, during a trip to a remote village in Benin for a job to earn some money, I was welcomed by an unknown Fulani family. Despite being strangers, they treated me with great kindness, hosted me, and cared for me with the utmost attention. We shared precious moments around the fire as a family, where I had the chance to learn and exchange about the culture and traditions of their region, which I didn’t know before.

教，学，和分享

For me, traveling is above all about exchange. I love to teach what I know, learn from others, and share unique moments. Every meeting is an opportunity to enrich our knowledge, cultures, and experiences. It is by sharing that we grow together and build bridges between people. I can help you learn French, and I’m eager to improve my English. We can exchange ideas about information and education around the world, as well as entrepreneurship.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I’d love to share with my hosts the cultural and human richness of Benin, my home country. Through stories, anecdotes, and conversations, I can introduce you to our traditions, languages, history, and our legendary hospitality.

I’d be happy to teach you how to prepare a few Beninese dishes, let you listen to local music, and tell you about our festivals and customs. I also enjoy exchanging ideas about travel, technology, or simply sharing a good moment over a meal or a walk.

For me, every meeting is an opportunity to build a bridge between our cultures.
