Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I returned to my parents' house in the suburb. I will change my status to host once I find a job and an apartment. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I stayed 6 months in Brazil (Porto Alegre) where I had my first Couchsurfing experience. It was used there as a social network, and we had a couchsurfing meeting in a bar once a week. I met there some of my current friends and I'll never forget that's where I learned Portuguese.
Music, Movies, and Books
My two favorites might be "Sad tropics by Claude Lévi-Strauss ; "the way of the world" by Nicolas Bouvier. These two are really worth reading. Cuban music. Samba. Chamber music. Electro.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Backpacking and couchsurfing alone in Iran for 4 weeks was maybe the strongest experience in my life.
My Interests
Backpacking, photography. I run quite a lot, I'm definitely up for a good race/jogging with anyone whatever your level. I played viola for 12 years, I had no choice but to stop with my studies; however I remain interested in classical music, as outmoded as it might seem.
