About Me

I'm a french nomad, also freegan and hitchhiker. I'm trying to become a writer, but I still have a lot of work to do about that.

I'm traveling around the world since october 2013, and I'm a travelblogger : www.histoiresdetongs.com.

I love :
- to hang out with some cool people,
- to have a life as slow as possible,
- to take time to think, about nothing and everything
- to meet some new people, to share time with them and to learn from their experiences
- to write
- to play music, especially guitar and accordion

"A travel dispenses with reasons. It proves it can be sufficient to itself. We believe we will make a trip, but it is the travel that makes you." Nicolas Bouvier

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I hosted few people in my previous flat, also in my van while I was travelling, and I showed my home town to many couchsurfers. Then, I was lucky to surf with a lot of hosts, and I participated in a few cs events over the world.

Each single couchsurfing experience was great and I'm so happy - and lucky - to live a big adventure, with people from the entire world...

Music, Movies, and Books

Since I live on the road, I'm on a TV rehab. Such a nice way to enjoy this new life, without advertisement, noise, and all of that crap. I feel more and more angry with the media, who try to make people to be scared of everything.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I quit my job to travel the world. Now, I can feel the breath of freedom each single day, which gives me a big smile when I wake up.

Teach, Learn, Share

I think everybody can teach me something about life. I'm really interested to learn from other cultures, and people I meet on my way. I would be happy to learn everything you would like to teach me, and I will probably learn from your life a lot more than you imagine.

I can teach you how to have a simple life, how to travel without spending a lot of money, and how to regain confidence and hope in the human kind...

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would be honored to share my happiness, my faith, and a part of my life with you, if you could find a bit of time to spend with me.
