CURRENT MISSION

Spend 1 year in Asia working in non profit organizations

ABOUT ME

I am actually working as a volunteer in an NGO in Cambodia (and did the same for 6 month in Nepal).... & I am traveling around Asia during my holidays, therefor, I will often be looking for a couch and meeting as many locals as possible! Also if you need nice tips during your stay in Phnom Penh or Kathmandu (mainly concerning volunteering)... let me know, I can help.You may check out what I am actually doing in Cambodia.... http://julietteinasia.blog.youphil.comThanks in advance for your hospitality and all your good tips :-) ***If you are interested in volunteering I have good connexions with 3 small organizations, 2 in KTM, 1 in Dhulikel and I would be very happy to help you with that. With a bit of English and some good energy you can do a lot to help Nepali kids.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything has an end, excepted bananas, they have two

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have never hosted anyone yet as my previous flat was too small... but as soon as I get back to Paris, I hope to move with a friend in something bigger and I will lend you my couch for sure :-)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The best, the top of the top for me as a couchsurfer is when I find someone to cook with. Easy, I cook something French against learning a local receipe... food is always a garantee of having a nice time + I love cooking !
