CURRENT MISSION

To be a scholar of life

ABOUT ME

I'm a traveler, a researcher, and a nice, non-thieving dude. I like meeting people and swapping stories, wandering around foreign cities taking photographs, and chasing after random adventures. I've been to almost fifty countries and backpacked across two continents so I'm pretty adaptable to whatever the road chucks my way.

PHILOSOPHY

You only live once. Try everything twice.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted twice and been hosted twice now, and they've all been excellent experiences. I've also been quite involved in the Lyon community, and many of my friends I've made in France have come from CouchSurfing. That's why I'm really looking forward to having even more experiences coming up.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Hurling tomatoes at Tomatina was pretty great. Angkor Wat at sunrise. Growing a moustache.
