About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Traveling around the world. And become wiser. Not necessarily in that order.

ABOUT ME

Just a regular CS member. I know, that's awesome!

PHILOSOPHY

A bit of everything. I'm open-minded, life is short and there's a lot to discover.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can't host right now, but I will, as soon as I settle somewhere.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed a couple of times and lived in a few shared apartments or houses with people from all over the world. Always had a good time!

Interests

I love traveling and visiting new places, but I prefer to live in the countries I visit, I believe it's more interesting to become a part of it. Unfortunately one life is not enough to live everywhere so I decided to start a trip around the world. Different experience, nonetheless amazing!

My passions are ski and snowboard. Especially off piste (pure freedom!)
And when I'm not in the mountains I do tennis, squash, bodysurf, boxe, hiking... among other things.

I have quite a healthy lifestyle, trying to eat organic as much as I can, being conscious about the environment, into Yoga, meditation and self development.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Riding a Royal Enfield through India and Nepal was quite an adventure!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach french, I can learn stuff, and I can share drinks! How good is that?
I also cook a little. So far people seem to appreciate my cooking skills, but let's be honest, it's not always good...

I always travel with a hard drive full of music, movies and series, and would be very happy to share it with you!
