Hi there !

My name is Marien, I'm a young boy from France. I'm 27 years old. I'm poet and drama actor and workshop facilitator. I perform drama, poetry, storytelling, and I also organise some cultural events.

Traveling gives me a lot of inspiration !!!

For now, I'm travelling for 5 months in India.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My favorite way of travel is when I'm surrounded by local life and local people, that's why I choose to go couchsurfing ;)

I've already been traveling in Europe, in West Africa, in Southest Asia (I've been working in Singapore as drama teacher for one year - and visiting Thailand, Indonesia, Malysia, Sri Lanka, Cambodia, Australia, Hong-Kong, New Zealand, New Caledonia)

I think discovering a country is not visting the monuments but vibrating at the local rythm and spirit. So, I hope to be hosted at your place and to meet you for a very special moment and a very warm and enjoyable encounter.

See you soon !

Interests

I like trekking, photography, poetry, food, wild places, secret places, hidden places, and all sort of secrets who makes the world magic and unexpectable :)

I like talking but I am also at ease with silence. I love meeting new people and discovering and sharing parts of daily life, simple moments, walking around, visting friends, drinking together, going to theatre, concerts, cinema, exhibitions, ...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been doing a walking tour around my area, in Provence, South of France : I walked for one month in the countryside and every night I stopped in smal villages to perform poetry ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to share my passion for poetry and drama. If you're interested, I can teach you some basics. And I'd love to learn from you anything I don't know.

And why not trying to perform at home together :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

We can share together our experience of the world and our views on the world. But, once again, my favorite moments to share are in the simple things of the daily life, and in the joy I have to meet new friends all around the world as I put a feet into their daily way of life...
