About Me

Starting from normal studies in Montpellier (south of France), I ended somehow by curiosity to complete my degree in UK studying water and economics to be applied Developing country. From that I found an amazing Job (don't Laugh!): I design toilets and treatment facility for a project in Madagascar. Basically I produce biogas and fertiliser from waste in madagascar. And I like it!

A part from that I am really keen on jumping on any opportunities, and I like to create them as well. I love people so I always leaved with house-mates and I am lucky enough because it always went very well!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I started travelling by hitch-hiking since I was 17 and love this way of travelling for all the people I met along the way. It was some incredible experience which changed my life and the way see it now.
From that some people welcome me in their house and they were used to welcomed some couchsurfer so that's how I have heard about this way of travelling.
As you can imagine, my willingness to meet new people naturally led me to joing the CouchSurfer community!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Jumping on a fret train in Madagascar to leave one city where I was stuck in due to the rainy season blocking roads. It was amazing to be be on this train, between carriage and on the top just in the middle of the bush.
Travelling on the top a train is amazing but trust me what you see in movies is fake, you can't run on it, it moves way too much!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am always keen on learning new things, Currently I am following courses, MOOCs, online to get more skills for my works and for myself.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am really keen on sharing my joy of life and all my travelling of life experiences.
I can't play music but I am a good listener.
