About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Get a job, continue to travel the world and publish a novel.

ABOUT ME

Well... How to summarize itself in such a little frame? I'm a rather eccentric person, always prone to fantaisies but also to complaining and ranting about how the world is done. Nevertheless, I'm able to counter all odds and to accomodate with any problem. What someone should call a traveller, then!
On the paper side, I'm a journalist and an amateur novelist.

PHILOSOPHY

"Never complain, never explain"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

For my own travels, to host people in need, and to discover new ways. As I said, discovering a country with a Native is the best thing to do, isn't it?

Careful - I tend to be far from my computer, and I don't receive e-mails from Couchsurfing anymore, so it can be difficult for me to receive them!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Used it during my exams, it was very pleasant and convinced me to continue it. I used it twice during my solo travel in Poland (in Lublin and Poznan, where hostels were scarce and people were nice), in Denmark and in Hungary and once in Grenoble for a news report.

Interests

Writing, movies, TV shows, meeting new people, literature, journalism, history, technology, alternate history, travelling... I tend to take interest into everything, so it's not limited!
