Personal Description

Well,
hello I'm born in february 88 and I love traveling.
On the summer 2006 I hitchhiked 1600km through Ireland, Scotland and England. This was my first timehitchiking and traveling alone, and I must say this trip changed my life forever.

In 2007, I moved away from Toulouse(France) and had a year off. I went to Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Croatia, Italia, Spain, Finland, and Estonia.

From 2008 to 2009 I lived in Tromsø, Norway
From 2009 to 2011 I've been studying photography in Oslo.

How I Participate in CS

Honestly I don't participate so much anymore since I share my room with a friend of mine and when I travel I just knock on people's doors instead of finding a place to stay through CS.

CouchSurfing Experience

Couchsurfing is nice, and I've met a lot of nice people through it, but lately I've found myself not using it so much anymore.

Interests

Skiing, photography, fixie, bikes, arts, cinema, culture..

Philosophy

I'm always happy and there's no problem.
I'm happy with what I've got and what I've done so far in my life!

Types of People I enjoy

People who love traveling, broad-minded people.. Photographers.

Teach, Learn, Share

I might learn you how to ski, or how to take pictures!?
Or I could teach you some french or norwegian!?

One Amazing Thing I've Seen or Done

I've hitchhiked all over Europe and am planing to travel around the world a couple of times in 2012 (and 2013?).

Locations Traveled

TRAVELED: Croatia, El Salvador, Finland, Honduras, Ireland (Republic of), Mexico, Norway

What do these numbers mean?

This summary is not a replacement for reading references; it's a quick summary to help you get started. At a glance, you can see how many references a member has, and how many of them are positive, neutral, and negative.

In the second line, you'll see how many references came from people who hosted this member, surfed with them, and traveled with them. These numbers won't always add up to the total: some references are not categorized, and some may be categorized as more than one thing.

When viewing this summary, don't jump to conclusions! Things that are negative for one person may be positive for another, and vice versa. It's important to read references carefully and evaluate what that information means to you.

I would say that thanks to his curiosity, his easy relationship with people and his energy, Sébastian is meant to travel. And indeed, from what I experienced (it was quite long time ago) and heard, he is a pretty nice traveller.

Sebastian is fun. He's a good friend of Alex, which is how I met him. They showed me the streets of brussels and held a coach for me a little bit.

I met Sebastian at school. And he is a person full of life, who really cares about others, and is glad to help if needed.
He's become a good friend in such a short period.

Awesome person! Met him and Jules randomly in Ljubljana and went for a coffee the next day. He's a very interesting, positive and friendly person who months later helped out my friend in need when he had no where to sleep in Oslo! I was really sad we couldn't hang out longer, but I hope I'll have that chance again. And btw I'm sorry for being rude about photography - actually I really appreciate it when I see that somebody is into it with heart and soul like you (and not doing it just to show off what is pretty common this days:) Host him, travel with him, meet him!

Sébastian contacted me morning and we met same day late afternoon, visited a pub and talked about the photography, traveling and other general things, it was a great evening. Sébastian stayed at my place for a night and he continued in his hitchhiking trip from Oslo to France next day early morning. So, I wish him good luck… :))))

Sebastian is a great guy! He's curious about life and hanging out with him is never boring. I think you can trust him, even on a bike down Karl Johan ;-)

Social and easy going guy. Picked him up hitch hiking as I was going to a mountain with some friends. I hope you succeed with your Norwegian mitfahrgelegenheit-project!!

My stay in Tromsø was close to the perfection. Sebastiæn took all of his time to show me the city on a somehow alternative way ; the one you would like to visit all the places you where. If I could, I would have stayed the whole "summer" ;)
I definitely hope to see/visit/host him again.
