About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Am I a coward ? Because, unlike Ethan Hunt in Mission Impossible, I didn't accept the mission... such a mistake !

ABOUT ME

Typically the kind of reflexion I don't like to have... I know : I will ask a friend and let you know his comment (but only if it's good, of course). No I'm not running away! It's more like... a strategic retreat :)

Jokes aside, I think I'm an honest and fair guy. I like talking (like all French guys ?), even if I have a bad level in English and a funny accent (like all French guys !!!).
I like nature, sport, watching movies, reading books, meet peoples, discover new places, having a lot of fun... like everyone else, no ?

Maybe you could ask if you have any question about me ?

PHILOSOPHY

I would like to answer "Hakuna Matata", but it's not always easy to apply. I'm working on it.

By the way, I like travelling and discover new philosophies. Maybe some day I will find mine, or make my own.

There are two things that I can't support : unfairness and falsehood.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have started with surfing while the month I spend going from East to West in Canada (it was in 2012).
Now I have settled down in France (in the East, near Germany) and I'm ready to meet travelers and to host them.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Not many, juste a few, and as a "surfer" :
in New York by a welcoming and charming couple ;
2 times in Calgary (AB) Canada by a warm, charming, lovely and really funny lady and her 3 dogs.

But It's not enough, and I'm looking for more experiences as a surfer, and as a host.

Interests

Human being of course ! I particularly interested in Sharing human stories. Whether amazing and incredible tales or simple and touching experiences, I like to discover what we have gone through, what makes us who we are.

Apart from that, I like so much jumping and climbing all over ! So in other terms, I'm fond of Natur and outdoor

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I helped friends to take care of children in a summer camp. The theme was the pirates and I had the high privilege to be Jak Sparrow... Awesome... more than that, LEGEND.. wait for it ... DARY ! Honestly, it was the best week in my life : with friends, children, all having fun together.

I recently saw my first northern lights ... The nose to the stars, like other folks , each of us gave his theory of the intersideral travel. A special thought for Marty and Doc Emett Brown.

I went camping (just 3 days) in the backcountry in the Canadian Rockies : the country of the bears !

Teach, Learn, Share

Whaouuu ! It's seems to me I have a lot to learn... I don't know what I could teach ... maybe French or a little German.
I think that I can teach you how to make your own compost and give you some environmental tips ?!

Of course we can share a meal, lifes stories and laughs !

What I Can Share with Hosts

Of course we can share a meal, lifes stories and laughs !

No really funny things to do in Brumath but it's not far away from the city Strasbourg (15 min by train).

I'm currently busy working, but I can show people around for half a day (maybe more) during weekends
