Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

i threw a bbq and my friend brought her couch surfer with her. it seemed a really good idea and i wanted to get involved.

sice then, ive hosted many people and had fun with all of them!

j'ai fait une soirée BBQ chez moi et une copine a amené un couchsurfer. ça semblait une bonne idée et je voulais participer. depuis cette soirée, j'ai hebergé beaucoup de couchsurfers et j'ai passé de bons moments avec eux!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

travelling from lausanne in switzerland all the way to the pyrenees to play at a party with a friend. partying until the hot sun rose over the mountains in one of the most beautiful landscapes ive witnessed.

sitting in the stone circle, glastonbury, looking down at a quater of a million festival goers all enjoying themselves.

j'ai voyagé de suisse jusqu'aux pyrenées pour jouer un concert avec un ami.on a fait la fête jusqu'au levé du soleil au dessus des montagnes et c'était un des meilleurs paysages j'ai jamais vu!

quand j'etais à glastonbury, à la "stone circle", j'ai regardé 250,000 gens passer des moments trop super cool!

Teach, Learn, Share

id like to learn as much as i can about foreign cultures and the way people really live, not what the normal tourist would see.

j'aimerai apprendre tout ce qui est possible de toutes les cultures et comment les gens vivent dans leurs pays, pas que les trucs touristiques.
