About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Back in France in 2014 and ready to settle a little bit. Let see how can we live without moving away from our birth place...

ABOUT ME

My girlfriend and I had been travelling a little bit since 2006. Now we are back in Montpellier and settle enough to share our couch. But our flat is small, so don't expect a lot of confort. I love cinema, photography, music, partying or enjoy a nice meal with some good wine, and I kind of enjoy visiting other countries and being on the road (with or without a crazy bus driver).
I love old cities and that's why we chose Montpellier as the best place to live in France.

PHILOSOPHY

Never stay more than 3 consecutive nights in the same town, unless you can't leave right now.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I met a few couch surfers here and there. We always have been very lucky to meet great and amazing people to make us feel good in their town !

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Melbourne/Australia: Very good. My girlfriend and me were in a home outside the city and Tim opened his home to us because it was during the Formula One GrandPrix and we couldn't find a place to stay !!!

Kabul/Afghanistan: An expat opened his home during few days before I jumped on a plane, after having visited the country during 3 weeks and needed a real hot shower !!

Iceland: My girlfriend and I met a very interesting and good host who welcomed us so warmly in Reykjavik during 4 nights (if I remember well). We shared a lot of good stories and drinks, we saw a lot of nice places and learned a viking game.

Revelstoke/ Canada: Stayed in Alexis' place in Revy while I realized one of my dream: Heliskiing. B.C .is beautiful.

Frankfurt/ Germany: Wehad only 24hours in transit in Frankfurt as we were coming back from our trip in America. So the best way to know a city in a short time is with couchsurfing. And it's been a very good experience that Claudia showed us the best places to enjoy some good beers and local "Tapas".
