ABOUT ME

Hi !
I'm François and untill the end of september I was an Engineer in Switzerland in the field of river engineering. I decided to take a break to travel in New Zealand for a year, discover a different culture, meet different people, see wonderful landscapes and improve my english !
A little more about me, I'm 25, 1.88 m tall, blond hair and blue eyes. I lived in France most of my life but also 2 years and a half in Canada and 1 year and a half in Switzerland. Besides traveling, I like music (I play the guitar and want to try the ukulele :) ), sport (mostly tennis and archery) and series like The big bang theory and How I met your mother.
I'm sure this description of me is incomplete, but you'll learn more when we meet :)

PHILOSOPHY

That's a tough one...and i think a would'nt have give the same answer a year ago !
I live to enjoy my life, meet great people and have fun with them, by talking, playing some music, shearing a meal...the more i grow up the more I think "you wanna do it...do it !".
But in the meantime I still want a family one day and the philosophy will have to adapt :), but for now I'm young and I plan to have a great time my trip in New Zealand !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I discovered Couchsurfing by friends who have experienced it and enjoyed it very much. As I'm leaving to New Zealand soon I thought I'd try it too.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've got no couchsurfing experience but lots of roomate experience. I live with roomates from august 2009 (when I arrived in Canada) and had very fun experiences and met wonderful people. I met a poker gamer in Montréal who invited me to the restaurant after having won about 20'000 $, a cook in swistzerland who has becomed one of my best friends... and about 20 other people from, Canada, France, swistzerland, Spain, Korea, Belgium...
