ABOUT ME

February 2022:
Hi everyone!
I am back on couch surfing! :)
I've been away for a bit more than a year as I didn't want to pay to host people... I clearly use CS to host and I've almost never been a guest anywhere. I love helping people but I also like being independant when traveling. ;)
so you can send me emails again here. But please, feel free to get in touch with me through:
Instagram: marcjuju
Or facebook: Marc Favre (marc-julien)

The 3 ways will be fine! ;)

Always pleased to meet new Nice people and help them through their travels!

Profile before :
I'm originally from France but I've been travelling a lot and have to admitt I haven't seen my high school friends much in the past few years... I love travelling and meeting people from all over the world!
I'm very open-minded and always in a good mood! :)

I've been working and studying in quite a few places. I m now working for a road engineeing company. And as my contract involves me moving of business Unit every 3 months, I keep travelling; I've been working for the same company in Erstein (alsace), Chateau-thieery (picardy), Brest (Brittany), Nantes (pays de la loire) ,Nice, Paris, Dijon....for the same company.
I've then (january 2014)quit my job for one in.... Africa! and then... life is full of surprises, we'll see what happens! :)
now (june 2017), here is the update: I'm now back in France where I'm working for a highway company. use all the days off I have to go abroad and keep discovering the beautiful world we're all sharing! :)

I love partying as much as I love nature, animals and walks in the country side. I love swimming and running. I always try to make every situation a funny one. Don't be surprised, I do not need to drink to jump all around... don't be scared, I just have the Lion King philosophy: HAKUNA MATATA!! ;D

I'm looking forward to meeting you! :D

PHILOSOPHY

Do never do to somone what you wouldn't like him to do to you

and a few quotes (sorry, some are in French):
"aucune grâce extérieure n'est complète si la beauté intérieure ne la vivifie" - Victor Hugo

"Life is not measured by the numbers of breaths we take BUT by the moments that take our breath away"

"On ne voit bien qu'avec le coeur, l'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux" - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've promoted this website as much as possible ever since I discovered it and I think that's a great idea!! :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

yep! and no regrets!!! Every single person I had the oppotunity to host was great! : )
I met awesome people thanks to a few CS events (especially in Montreal, Canada; Nice, France and Paris, France), met wonderful human beings thanks to the access of who lives in the cities I'm visiting (a thought for Birmingham, United-Kingdom). I guess unlike facebook which is made to keep contacts, this one is made to make some and I'll keep using as long as life allows me to keep travelling.

Interests

music (I used to play the trumpet but have stopped since I went to Montreal for my studies)
