My name is Thomas. I am 50 years old. I am reconnecting with couch surfing after almost 17 years away, during which time I regularly hosted people in my home. I am curious, love travel and adventure, meeting people, and discovering their cultures. I am socially engagé for social justice (squatting, community housing, holistic health).

My son's name is Felix, he is 11 years old. He speaks French and is learning English as a beginner. He loves dancing and singing. He is kind and pleasant.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm travelling to Southern India from the 14th of February and the 6th of March. The intiary is not really fixed yet, but we will land and take off in Mumbay and be visiting Ellora, Pundicherry, and places in Kerala. We would love to make contact with residents during our trip.
