Hello,

French photographer travelling for the past few months to discover new places, people and culture. I left my job in London and the "metro, boulot, dodo" to pursue discoveries, adventure, socialising, and just LIVE! What drives me, a thirst to learn. Always learning is my Mojo. And what a better way to learn from a city/country by meeting new interesting people.

Photography is not my only passion. Check my website to see what I do, hope you like it. http://www.antoinebarthelemyphotography.com/

I also like to write. I created a blog with the intention to share knowledge, subjects over "culture" with Sport, Cinema, Music, Health, Environmental articles. It's called www.cultural-affair.com. If you want to be part of the project, write us @ infoculturalaffair@gmail.com.

I also used to be a tennis coach, sport is still a big part of me. I like pretty much all sort of music.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To be part of this community of open minded people not afraid to meet people from different background.

I also like to meet locals to feel how a city is.
What a better way to learn from a new city or country than to be "immersed" with locals?

I am grateful for people who like to share their love of their (home)town.
