Overview
About Me
I’m a keen traveler; I have lived and worked in different countries around the world. I’ve used my profession (teacher of languages) to keep me going from one place to another. I’ve always had a passion for learning about different cultures and my lifestyle matches this passion. I've also used my keen interest for sports to travel to different places by taking part in various competitions:
Marathons in New York City (4), Barcelona (4), Santiago de Chile (3), Paris (2), Oslo (1), Buenos Aires (1), São Paulo (1), etc...
Travels by bike across the USA, Europe, etc...
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I’m on Couchsurfing because I find it a lot more interesting to meet people along the way when I’m travelling, it’s the best part of being on the road.
Interests
I’ve been practicing sports a good part of my life and more specifically cycling and marathon running. I love travelling by bike, I find it’s a great way of discovering places and meeting people. Recently I discovered myself a passion for photography, I love documenting my travelling experiences with pictures.
Otherwise I’ve always liked languages, whether learning or teaching them and I’ve turned this passion into my profession by becoming a linguist and a translator.

Teach, Learn, Share
That's the whole interest of Couchsurfing ... teaching and learning new things and sharing new experiences.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I think I can share my experience of having travelled and lived in different places around the world, my experience in languages and in sports. I hope to learn a lot from the people that I will meet through Couchsurfing.
