About Me

Hi, I'm Michel but my friends call me Mitch.

My profile says that I'm fluent in English but a more accurate description would be fluent in Frenglish ;)

I was born and raised in the south west of France, a beautiful region called Pays Basque.

I'm a freelance web developper in Lyon, France. Have been living there since the beginning of this year 2016 and before that I lived for 4 years in Montréal Canada where I had an absolute blast meeting new people from all horizons and enjoying the legendary but real Canadian friendliness.

I miss Montréal a lot, maybe I'll go back some day...

Other than that, I'm a pretty average guy, I like video games, movies, gadgets, learning new things, 420 friendly. And as frenchman I obviously like red wine (Bordeaux Pessac-Léognan for the win), cheese (goat cheese best cheese) and baguettes (well cooked)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting new people, getting interested in their lives, try to understand them and share stories, experiences or just share some fun times :)

I also think visiting a city can only truly be done with the help of locals (must sound very obvious for all of you couchsurfers)

And yeah the cost is a good reason to avoid traditional ways of housing...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Left my job as a banker because I was tired of stealing poor people money and left France for Canada to became a web developper which is what I really enjoy.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some French, French cuisine and computer related stuff as I'm pretty versatile in front of a computer.

I wish to learn almost anything, that's what I try to do everyday.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can't really host at the time (in good conditions), sorry.
