About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Find people to start a nomadic community

ABOUT ME

I'm now using a big part of my time doing stuff for a free Web-Radio in Berlin, and also sometimes cooking in a "non-commercial restaurant", and riding my bike quite a lot...

-- Little precision about my language skills :
- French is my mother tongue
- I can speak a fluent broken english
- I can speak a fluent broken german
- I can sometime manage to order a coffee in Vietnamese and to understand the price.

PHILOSOPHY

Do It Yourself, but with others !
Make it simple, except when it's fun and interesting to make it complicated !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm using Couchsurfing actively since I started my trip from Berlin (Germany) to Saigon (Vietnam), with the train.
In Berlin, I hosted for the moment a lot of people on my coach, without doing it through Couchsurfing (I guess the name of it is "wild couchsurfing"). I'll post a picture which prooves that 8 people can sleep in my 25^2 room :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I heard a lot about CS because of friends hosting people or being hosted through it. Then I met my ex-flatmate, because she was couchsurfing by a friend of mine 800 km away from Berlin.

I really started my Couchsurfing profile at the start of my trip. All experiences were wonderful, and most of the people I met this way are friends now !

Russia :

- 09.2010 surfed in St-Petersburg 3 nights with 2 friends of mine
- 09.2010 surfed in Moscow for 3 nights with 2 friends of mine
- 09.2010 surfed in Irkutsk for 8 nights with 2 friends of mine

Mongolia

- 10.2010 met a lot of people in Ulaanbaatar thanks to CS

China

- 12.2010 surfed in Beijing 10 days in 2 different flats
- 12.2010 surfed in Xi'An 4 days
- 12.2010 surfed in Kunming 4 days
- 12.2010 met people for tea in Kunming

For more details, you can read the eCSperiences :)

I'm actually now quite desapointed of the change of Couchsurfing into a commercial company, so I'm going to use bewelcome.org instead. My profile is here :

Interests

I think I already described a lot of my interests in the "all about me", because what is interesting me, also built a part of me I think. To make it short :

- Alternative living forms (ecologically, collectivelly, ...)
- everything in relation with the Do It Yourself (D.I.Y) philosophy
- Exploring the modern city archeology (like understanding the changes in progress in the places I'm visiting.)

Quit my job to go east with the train and meet you on the way ?
