About Me

2023 summertime update : I am moving out France to go to New Zealand to achieve a working and holiday visa in September 2023. Before that I will be happy to meet up and host travelers with good vibes :)
I'm moving on 5th of September, heading to Japan and then NZ in end of September.

I cannot host anymore because I will be on the road :) But always ready to meet up and share good vibes

Hello,

I'm a young french urban planner and geographer, after studing at la Sorbonne, Paris, living at Rennes in Brittanny and Strasbourg close to Germany I 'm trying a new life's experience in south of France this time, in Toulon.
I decided to do a gap year in 2016, for the pleasure to explore worldwide. Let's do it again and share experiences ! :D After working during 6 months I travelled 6 months in Asia (Japan, China, Laos, Burma and so...), in Reunion island and Greece. It's been tremendous !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

More I travel and more I'm highly convinced that what I remember the most was people I met. Landscapes can be breathtaking, but humans are so plural :) I would love to share moments and discover more about other cultures ! Because I believe in manking I decided to join CS community !

Nota bene : Please take in consideration I'm not interesting in dating or chating in purpose, this annoying and not at all why I'm CS.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was 16 years old, I was enough lucky to be selected for an exchange with an high school near Boston, MA. I was amazed by everything and met some very good friends.
It was thrilling and so open-minded to experience such a great and unforgettable adventure? It was the very beginning of passion for traveling ! :)
