Overview
About Me
I recently left the comfort of a "fixed job" and "home" to see the world, travel slow and work remotly as radio journalist and advocate for European NGOs.
I love to travel "differently": hitchhiking, biking, hinking etc... I absolutely love to be in the nature, and enjoy long discussion about life and society.
Having lived previously in Colombia, Scotland, Belgium... and of course France, I am quite used to an international environment.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I have been using couchsurfing to meet people, discover cultures and experimenting other ways of living.
I just registered on it again since corona, and looking forward to new couchsurfing experiences!
I am really easy going and adaptable :
If you are more in the mood of cooking, drinking tea, chatting, watching a movie, I am in !
Doing sports, going for a run, biking, climbing, throwing frisbee ? I am also here!
Going for drinks, or dancing on some latin music ? Also good for me :)
Having a tour of your city or your area - I would of course join!
And if you like to stay quiet and chill on your own, I can definitely find some good occupation without being around and bother you :)
Just let me know what you would like to be up to!
Interests
I worked for a NGO defending Human Rights in Brussels for nearly 4 years, volunteered in citizen's organisations supporting asylum seekers, directed several video documentaries.
I love sports a lot (running, cycling, hiking, yoga, acroyoga, ultimate frisbee, surfing...)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Hitchhiking in North Brazil on Christmas day with my ex girlfriend, we were hosted by a couple and their family that we met on the street. We ended up spending a week at their place in a really small village . Eventhough I was not speaking Portuguese, it was more than great to be around, laugh together, play with the kids and visit the area. Best encounters are the ones you don't expect.
Teach, Learn, Share
Happy to share my knowledge of French, English, Spanish.
Could also be a good sports buddy, share conversation and stories of life and travels.
