Instagram reflets more what kind of person: @yoann.frenchguyabroad

Well, I'm 29 and haven't traveled half as much as I wish I had! I love travelling and couchsurfing is for me a part of travelling. I have hosted (with my ex-partner) around 10 people in Shrewsbury, where I last lived and had very positive experiences! (see emily peacock's profile)

I have recently traveled extensively to South America, where I met my girlfriend :) , and now I am settling in Bordeaux for a while.

I have only surfed a few times, in Europe, the States and South America and always was a very nice experience.

Other than travelling, I work in technology in a whole, robotics. but worry not I am not a crazy mad scientist.

I believe I am a kind person, always willing to go the extra mile to help people. And hosting people is about helping people out in a way.

PHILOSOPHY

Be open minded - don't judge and open your eyes

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was happy to host people, give them shelter for a night or two, when I still had a house., for now I live in a tiny studio but would happily host once I've moved to a bigger flat.

I am also happy to get to experience the other side of it a bit more, surfing.

Mostly, I think it's a great way to make new friends and hear amazing or interesting stories.

Interests

I am a robotician, so I do love technology but I am very open minded and like lots of things. Indeed my interests are broad, and broadens everyday.

• environment
• vegetarian
• technology
• traveling
• ecology

• meeting new people

Touch Elephants, Built robots, Ate worms, had a physical argument with a taxi driver, trekked volcanoes, explored Angkor Wat, backpacked through Colombia, Ecuador, Perú and Bolivia, Chile , Argentina and Brasil and only got Robbed at gunpoint once.
