Hi there !

I'm a French 19 y-o student currently living in Lyon, France. I come from a little high-perched village In the Alps from which I left for my studies, but somehow love of great spaces always catch me up.
I'm quite locked to Lyon and France right know although I love meeting new people and cultures (that's partly why I've chosen to study cinema and literature, which I think are good ways to know places - better than TV) but studies are timeconsuming for the moment and I don't have much time to spend travelling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've first learned about CS by my flatmate Albane Buisson who travels a great deal and with whom I've already taken in a few people, mostly on week-ends, throughout the passed year - a great bunch of experiences with people from all over the world.

Even if my time schedule isn't gowing to be quieter, I'll still be able to host a few travellers next year (mostly during week-ends and the holiday). I can't right now but should do it again after September.

I also plan to doing a few cultural and linguistic journeys in the years coming (in England and if I can Japan) so I hope this site will help me. I'd also like to visit more Europe, before going to further countries).
I think that visiting cities (even and maybe mostly big ones) is completly different when done in native shoes (but I think it's the case for everyone here !!) so hopefuly I can be lead through cities as well as making you visiting mine : Lyon is a great city with a lot of things to do !
