About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Enjoying my time by travelling and discovering as much as i can, meet new friends and locals, visit new places and nex cultures, have parties with my friends!
In 2019 we plan with my girlfriend to make a trip around the world, so we will probably use couchsurfing some times to meet some people all over the world!

ABOUT ME
Like most of people here, I like to travel around the world. I already spent some time as a volunteer in Iceland (5 months), as a trainee in India (4 months) and in Québec (5 months), such good experiences, very different but very interesting...
Except that, I like to practice sports (tennis badminton mostly), trekking, go to music shows (rock mainly), watch movies which make you asking questions and discusing about the meaning of it. I really like natural spots, where you feel the power of nature and admire natural landscapes

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As a lot of people here, I like to use this kind of trip/journey! I think it's a great way to discover the culture and the places you visit. To me, locals are generally the best guides of their cities, and it's good to talk and learn about their way of living. This is for me the best way to travel and meet people...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was hosted several times in Spain, Québec and France, every time a good experience.
I also hosted people sometimes with some of my friend, and I participate in CS community actions in the cities where I live.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I love every kind of rock music (rock, post-rock, metal, punk, electro, trip-hop...) I'm always curious to discover new artists and bands...

Movies: I'm open about movies but i really like movies which you have to discuss because you're not always sure you have understood pthe real meaning (David Lynch movies, Shutter Island, this king of movies). And generally movies which are intense and powerful, not necessarely because of violence, but because of the subject which is about. Sometimes a good comedy is good too, but I'm difficult about it. And no Walt Disney for me, sorry...

Books: George Orwell, Ken Follet, Arto Paasalina, Caryl Ferey etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Tous les différent voyages que j'ai pu faire m'ont apporté des moments excellents (et d'autres plus difficiles bien-sûr!), et ont été intéressants chacun à leur manière!! J'espère que ça va continuer!
Lors de mon stage en Inde, où je partais en reconnaissance pour créer des séjours trek dans les montagnes, je me suis retrouvé avec mon guide indien en plein coeur de la montagne, à boire du thé chai avec des bergers en estives, avec le lait de leurs chèvres directement dans le chai. Tout ça en essayant de discuter par des gestes principalement sur leur vie en estive, les risques d'attaques d'ours...magique!

Every trip I made was a good experience, with every time good moments (and difficult ones too but it's a real part of the trip). Every trip was interesting and different, I hope it will continue...
When I was in a training in India, I went for a trek in the middle of the mountain to create new treks for an agency. At a point, in the middle of nowhere, we met shepherds with theirs goats and we drank chai tea together made from their goat's milk... and trying to discuss (mainly but hands gestures) about our different lives... What a great experience for me!
