I'm David, I live in Bordeaux, France, where I was almost born and bred. I lived in Paris for 5 years while I was studying and I also had the chance to live in Seoul, Korea, for about one year.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I recently discovered this community and it seemed so open and fresh that I want to contribute to it. I think meeting new people is what makes life exciting and it seems like a great way to meet LOTS of interesting people!
