CURRENT MISSION

Live and let live. Travel whenever we can, cause that's the only thing that matters!

ABOUT ME

I am a quite relaxed and easy-going person, I guess just like many people on Couchsurfing!

I to learn and speak foreign languages, talking and discovering new cultures. I am also really into the typical French "apéro" talking about how we could change the world^^
I work both as a tour guide in Lyon, as well as a French teacher (I teach online classes) and I also teach at University a subject called "mutual intelligibility between romance and germanic languages". Usually people don't really know what it is. If you do, great!! :) and if you don't...well I'll show you when we meet!

I love food and wine, and while travelling I do focus on discovering as many typical dishes and wines as possible.

Animals are always welcome! If you come with your dog or other, that's great news! Just not cats, sorry, I like them but I am just allergic to them. Wish it were different really...:(

PHILOSOPHY

A bit lame to write about that here, we much prefer to discuss that with you :D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been on Counchsurfing for a long time, have hosted many people from everywhere.
I do not like the uniformization of minds and globalized thought-makers that mass travelling is getting to generate more and more, so just keep in mind that we are all different, we don't all eat McDonalds or listen to the last crap that hit the top first position in the music head lists. There's a million way to experience life and think, so respect it and do not take your cultural references as the only legitimate.

My goal is to try to share a part of me with the others, get a real exchange, open new perspectives together.

Interests

I am kind of an eclectic guy, I like a lot of things (actually, not really fond of sports!!). Cinema, reading, music (I play the saxophone and trying out the guitar), learning foreign languages (English, Spanish, Italian, Greek, Portuguese), surfing through the net looking for travel sites and photos, going out with friends and discover all good places (restaurant, bars, parcs...), photography, nature, news of the world, history, geography (I can spend hours learning a map by heart!!), architecture, arts, nature, games...

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't have any specific type of literature, loves reading about everything: novels, poetry, essays, newspapers, scientific literature.
Prefer honestly to discover off-the-beaten-track movies and bands, no Ed Sheeran or Lady Gaga here please...there's so much more and better to get to know!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Driving a camping car through Bulgaria and Greece for the summer holiday. Unforgettable experience! :D
And many more...

Teach, Learn, Share

If I can, I would be more than happy to teach you many things!
French, English, Spanish, French cooking, wine...
As a tour guide, I would be more than happy to get you on a tour around the city. This is practise for me, and undoubtedly this will be very enjoyable for you! So do not hesitate!!!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I like to take time with the people who come and visit me.
Unfortunately now I can't host, since I don't have a fix appartment, so I can only hang out.
Lyon is a very beautiful city, there are many restaurants, green areas and all types of things to do.
Tips on the city and the region, that's what I do! :)
