CURRENT MISSION

I live in Bourg Saint Maurice, a little city in Savoie close to some famous french ski resorts (Les Arcs, La Plagne, Val d'Isère, Tignes, La Rosière) I spend most of my free time in the mountains so if you are an outdoor person you have knocked at the good door, it will be a pleasure for me to show you around :)

Hosting : I have some extra beds, so I can welcome people quite comfortably in my appartment. And if you want to grab a beer of go explore the mountains i am always down for that :D And don't hesitate to contact me for last minute requests, I am quite reactive!

ABOUT ME

I love adventure ! This is why I live for ! I always want to explore and discover new countries, new regions and making my own experiences there. I have quite some travelling experience as well as Brazil was the 6th country I have lived in. I am very sporty as well I practise a lot of running/trail and cycling mostly. But I like to try a lot of other sports. And skiing in winter of course :D
Otherwise I love hearing about travelling stories meeting people with a different way of life and learn about it. I'm open minded and really easy going too.

Also, if you come, cooking and sharing dinner will be part of your experience as i looove cooking 😋
Eu falo portugues tambem!

PHILOSOPHY

“Tourists don’t know where they’ve been, travelers don’t know where they’re going.”
"The world is a book and those who don't travel only read one page"
"Buy experiences, not things"
"The mental leads, the body follows"
"If you think that adventure is dangerous, try the routine, she is fatal"
"On a toujours le choix de prendre la route la moins empruntée, le sport cela reste ce qu'on en fait"
"L'homme croit que le bonheur est au sommet de la montagne, mais il est dans l'art de la gravir"
Travelling with an easy going way, meet random people and share good moments with them. Just go into the unknown and see what happen :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have started surfing in New Zealand in 2013 and hosted a few people in Holland, Grenoble (France), Villard de Lans and Rio de Jaineiro when I lived there. I have surfed also during my different bike trips in Europe. Now I am back in a spacious and nice flat in so I can welcome people again :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hard to choose I think there are quite a few!
- The first one when I was in Quebec (in Canada) I did winter camping and sleep outside with temperatures below -35° !
- The second are my bike trips every summer : I did with friends 1250km in 11 days with our luggages, travelling through France from the East to the West, 1035km to Amsterdam, 1300km to south of France, 900km from Oslo to Copehague, 1000km from Austria to Czech Republic and the last was the biggest one: 1800km in a month from Slovakia to Napoli in Italy . So you get it I am a huge fan of bike trips!
- Also had the chance to surf with dolphins while I was in NZ, it was like in a dream!
- Spent one winter season in the highest ski resort in Europe (Val Thorens) skiing (almost) every day!
- Traveled a month on the Camino from France to Spain
- Went skiing in Norway next to the fjords
And many more aventure stories if you want to know more :)
