About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet new people from around the world and share experiences... Enjoy life at its best while it's possible... Life is way too short to regret things and not enjoying our free time on this Earth !

ABOUT ME

I am 25 and work as a consultant. I love meeting people from all over the globe.
The best project I currently have is to cross Japan from North to South walking, and get to know this country better and understand its people.

I am a bit shy at first sight, but very friendly with people, always ready to give a hand to friends.

I do practice martial arts (taï-jitsu, iaïdo, aïkido)
I used to play basketball too.

Been hosted by some wonderful people in the US, so I feel like I have to give back to the CS community...

PHILOSOPHY

I live to take advantage of life, and it's possible without drinking or smoking...
Respect people, be tolerant with those who think differently as there are no ONE RIGHT WAY to think...
It's all about tolerance, respect and learning to appreciate what's different.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I actually did surf several couches in the US.
Now that I have my own studio, I feel like hosting travellers looking for a couch when I can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been hosted quite a lot in the US when I was traveling by myself with almost no money...
NY, Miami, Orlando... a lot of wonderful people I met and I will never forget

Interests

Sports, traveling, reading, movies, JAPAN (and everything related to it), martial arts, music...
I kinda like anything adventurous, anything not being common.
Meeting people from all over the world and share some cultural differences, chat with them and just enjoy life before it's too late.
