Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Although I suscribed some years ago, I never really used couchsurfing until I arrived in NZ. I'm actually in a guest position but I hope I be able to host once I will have a home (in NZ for some months or in France)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I discover what hospitality means when a very nice host in Coromandel called some friends on our way to host us. These new hosts were friendly too and we had great times with them. They spontaneously called some friends too etc. My friends and I spend a great weeks around Coromandel peninsula from lovely people house to lovely people house.

I like skiing, snow boarding, hiking, climbing too and sport generally, tennis, volley-ball, football (Olympique Lyonnais)

I learn photography and I am a beginner on the harmonica

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did and finished a very hard mountain bike race in France: la Transvesubienne. a wonderful experience of 10hours during which one I had to push my limits, both physical and mind.
