CURRENT MISSION

Improving peace in the world with photographic project

ABOUT ME

Free lance photographer, I create my own project and I do it. It's the reason why I travel so much. But I travel also because I like to discover different way of life, different people, different atmosphere, different smell and taste... All what make the world so wonderful.

I'm traveling since summer 2009 and I will probably stop for a while in summer 2014. But I still enjoy it and I'm not bored :-)

People said I laugh a lot and loud (it's right) I never stay more than one week somewhere (it's wrong, sometime I stay 2) and I love spontaneity (it's right as well).

I love what I don't know

PHILOSOPHY

I will put some quotes about travel, it gonna be easier.
“A journey is best measured in friends, rather than miles.” - Tim Cahill
“A journey is like marriage. The certain way to be wrong is to think you control it.” - John Steinbeck
“The first condition of understanding a foreign country is to smell it." - Rudyard Kipling
"Discovery consists not in seeking new lands but in seeing with new eyes" - Marcel Proust

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Ok, I've been hosted more than I hostes and I'm not proud of that... I would love to host more, but I've to settle somewhere for that, it's in my plan for 2014.
I spend most of my adult life traveling, so little bit difficult to host

Many experiences and all good in different part of the world, Bali, Bangkok, Iran, Armenia, New Orleans in US, Japan or even Afghanistan!

I also met some incredible people sleeping in my place in Crete and in France as well.
