ABOUT ME

Hi Folks
Hitchiking from North to South Amercia, I am on. This is my project from now to the end of October…
That is chalenging, stressing and exciting . I do hitchike for many reasons one of them is I like meeting local people. Will I have the chance to meet you on my way ? I Hope yes.
It is hard to spek about oneself,but I would say that I am very sociable, and not complicted, I can sleep wherever I have a matress and my sleeping bag. I like doing new thing and discover different types of culture.

In the past I was part of Hospitality club which is very similar to Couch surfing. Most of the messages of the pple I did host, who hosted me or who I met left some message on the web site of Hospitality club. If you are a member of it you can have look at it my profile name is yannouh38. You will know what people think about me.hope it is good ;)

PHILOSOPHY

"The traveller has to knock at every alien door to come to his own"

Le voyageur doit frapper a toute les portes avant de parvenir à la sienne.

It is funny isn’t it how every traveller is a tourist except one’s self’

"I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work."

"The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step"

Se taire est un acte politique, de même que protester. Quiconque prend conscience des désastres de la mondialisation n'est plus innocent, il est contraint de s'engager.

Arundhati Roy,
Ecrivaine indienne

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I did organised for my studies in 2006 an event about how to find a job abroad, how to travel, how to find a placement abroad...with differnts stand. They were a member of HC/ CS who was runing a stand of the 2 organisations

Interests

Backpacking, when i have the time and hitchiking of course.Meeting new people with a differnet point of view, with a differnt backround, culture help me to understand every day our world. I am a winter ski instructors,I Love skiing and try to do mountain activity, I like sports, dance a bit of salsa. I try to play a bit of guitars but I am not good... I used to play trumpet but it was a long time ago no problem the most important is not to be good but to enjoy...
Do not worry I did not bring my trumpet in my bag.
I like travelling by hitchiking it is a great and exciting way of traveling. One day if I 'll have the time I will try to do a trip round the worle like that.
I did my dissertation about the cultural and the sociological aspect of backcpacking.
