About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To find crazy landscapes accessible from France, using my moto

ABOUT ME

I am said to be full of energy... All the time... Quite hard for me to stay in one place for long! I don't like watching TV shows (Actually, I don't have TV), I much prefer listening to music, reading, travelling, and going to the movie theatre... I am very curious, I love being faced with unexpected things, and love to learn everything possible!

PHILOSOPHY

Will life be long enough to see such wonderful places on Earth?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to travel all around the Europe. Finding a place to stay for one night or two, while meeting people who live in these places and sharing a dinner with, for instance, a bottle of French wine, seems much greater than staying by oneself in a hotel or doing camping (although I love wild camping)!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Few but so great experiences! I travelled in England and Scotland, and have been hosted by very nice people... That was exactly what I expected from CS: sharing our culture...

Interests

I love my job. I teach epidemiology in a Veterinary school in France... I also love travelling, especially using my moto... I love to discover places where human being is scarce, desert places so... In those places, I take my book, and read... (Except in the Isle of Skye where the landscapes were too breathtaking to read!)

Movies: D Lynch, A Innaritu, M Haneke, Lars Von Trier, K Kieslowski...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

So many things...
1) The most powerful situation I've ever experienced was when I went (with two friends of mine) to Valley of the Gods, in Utah, and stay there for one hour or so. The landscape was terrific.
2) Swimming while being surrounded by two sharks in New Caledonia was an "interesting" experience, I must say!...
3) Going to the border of, Syria, Iran and Armenia (while staying in Turkey), alone with my moto, alone, with my sleeping bag and my tent, from Paris
4) The road along the Skadar lake with my girlfriend, such a beautiful road....

Teach, Learn, Share

I like talking about my work, about my research (altought I easily admit that it could be boring for some people!)... I love talking about books that changed a bit of one's life... Sharing our way of life and our culture are great things to learn! I can teach some basics in photography...
