About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life! And learn Spanish!

ABOUT ME

I'm 29, and used to be an audiovisual technician in Paris before I decided to go traveling for one year in North America. I spent the summer and fall WWOOFing (volonteering) in farms and hiking resorts in the Yukon and British Columbia, Canada, then I worked in Vancouver before heading California and then Mexico in January. Now I´m trying to forget that I have to go back soon! And keep being amazed by the beauty of the world and the generosity of people...

PHILOSOPHY

I can't make career plans or projects of long-term life because I'm too afraid being walled in a life that I can't control anymore. Life's to short and difficult enough!
Nothing matters much to me that honesty between people, which makes life much easier and enjoyable!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

For the moment, by being hosted, and trying to be good at it... But soon as a host, when I´ll be back home!

Interests

In desorder... Love indie rock music and movies. Great deserted and nordic landscapes. Hate TV but addicted to the web, because I don't like my screen tells me what to watch!
Basically, BEING OUTSIDE, hiking, camping, swimming, eating, or just... being...
And also drinking Picon biere in my fav bar in the 18th district of Paris. And of course I LOVE travels, which is not very original, but some people don´t, believe me!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love the craziness of american independant movies, the diversity of european cinema (and european cultures in general), and being lost in asian movies codes.
I mostly listen indie and post-rock, but also balkan punk rock, and chanson française... In fact a lot of different things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In september I spent 3 weeks WWOOFing in the most beautiful and amazing place I´ve ever seen, in the middle of nowhere in British Columbia, Canada. Me and the other volunteers spent our time hiking and maintaining hiking trails, making bread in a stone oven, choping and canoeing wood to help a 60 year old lady who live by herself in cabins 30 km away from any other habitation, next to a lake and close to wonderful summits.
