- Living to the fullest and getting more magnets for my fridge - My name is Bertrand, 35yo, French. I live in beautiful South of France, a place where the snowy mountains meet the warm sea. I live in Nice, a seafront city close to Cannes, Monte Carlo, Saint Tropez, etc... I can describe myself as sociable, humorous and happy. I enjoy life and I try to live every minute to its fullest. I believe in generosity, integrity, loyalty and simplicity. I can't stand egoism, egocentricity and the nuclear energy. I'm gay (it's not that important but I prefer to say). I have a nice apartment and I promise a warm welcome, the perfect place to listen to the story of your life and tell you mine around a glass of wine or a beer. I am reliable, energetic, friendly and sociable but sometimes I need to sail solo. That's probably why I love CS: you meet new people, you change the world with a conversation, you share, you learn, you laugh. Hosting people at yours is the only way to create such interesting relations in a very short time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm always happy to host people when I can. If you expect that you will share 100% of your time with me, if you cannot afford a drink in a bar, please consider another host. Sometimes I share days and nights with my surfers. But sometimes I'm too busy and I don't have time. I'm a wild man ;-) (I don't want to be unpleasant but it's important to let you know what to expect so you can choose the right host)
