About Me

Airplanes and Mechanic were my two passions as a kid. But then couldn’t decide if I wanted to be a pilot or a racing mechanic. One thing I surely wanted : to travel the world.
So I became an aeronautical mechanic, working on piston-engine powered aircraft, in the southern France.
But I left and decided to give a try in the world of Races and Competitions.
I then worked as an international racing mechanic for Kawasaki in the European Championship. That job took me all around Europe and across the USA, but always in a rush or with too many limits.
So I quitted and decided to travel on my own to discover all those places by myself, without any work pressure.
I’m starting this world tour in New Zealand. Cool way for me to improve my English, meet the Kiwis and explore the beauty of this country.
Next steps will probably be South East Asia, Northern and Eastern Europe, or even South America

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm still new but I’ve heard so many good things about Couch Surfing. It really fits to the way I want to travel. Meeting the locals, getting to know the culture and the lifestyle. Something that no tour or agency will ever show you !

Interests

I listen to a lot of music, and I even play bass guitar.
Outdoor activities (horse riding, off road bike ...)
Motocross (as well as other mechanical sports)
Traveling ! Makes me feel free and I’m always curious and happy to learn something new

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I don’t know if this amazing, but I quitted my job and decided to live another life and it feels amazing !
