CURRENT MISSION

Doing the tour of the world

ABOUT ME

Hi there, I'm Fred, still looking to improve myself and experience every things I can (and sometime some improbable things). I think that the best way to create ourself is to travel and be inspired by people from everywhere around the world. I'm positive and openminded, a bit curious, like going out and meet people from other cultures thank to the world :). I love to travel, art, improvisation theater, technologies, nature and enjoy sports.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Back in Lyon after a world tour and some travels.
I live in a nice place in Lyon, I can help people and advice them about points of interest, if I have the time have a walk together, make you a short visit of the city and sometime cook together.
When I'm a guest, I love to cook for my host and having good discussions about my travels and culture.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My experience as a couch surfer has been nice in the US as a guest, in poland and in russia. It is a good way to learn and share with others.
At the moment, I think I hosted around 100 people from many countries and it was always a pleasure to share time with them :), to help them in their travel experience and learn a lot from their culture. It really changes your point of view that you can have, it allows you to have a real exchange with local and not the media makeup. And the most important thing is that I met new friends.
