About Me

I change my daily life by living in Cambodia, so I'm discovering the country and the culture, and my knowledge is different as in France.
Expeditions and run out of my comfort zone is my way of life ! If you visit me I'll do the best to advice you, we could share some good moments together.
In love of different cultures, my wish is to discover traditional youth life everywhere I go, to enjoy together and meet their family :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I wish to discover cultures by filling me with customs and discover countries to break prejudices and enjoy to get new friends with a different opinion of the world as in Occident.

Interests

I'm a simple guy very interested by each person I meet, this is the most powerful souvenir in each country I visited.
Nature and animal diversity is a very important point of interest for me, fishing, hunting and bushcraft as well.
I like sport, especially martial arts, running, mountain sports, sailing... I practiced mixed martial art, especially Brazilian jiu-jitsu
I love cinema and traditional art, like poesy and local readings
and I'm crazy of civilisation and history of religion !

Music, Movies, and Books

I prefer rap/hip-hop, but I listen a lot of things, like latinos songs or classic rock, some soul and funk too ! I'm in love of many local songs I hear during my travels.
I maintain my film culture as I can, I'm crazy of each kind of cinema
I read a little bit, not a lot in english or spanish (but I try !), I like japanese bushido philosophy, Jack London, Marco Polo tales, Jules Verne (20 000 lieues sous les mers) and le petit prince by exemple, or adventure and expeditionary stories.
