ABOUT ME

I from the Nantes in France. I really love my city so I can give you all tips about it.
I started travelling in june 2014 after my degree.

I dreamed of this life and now I live it.

I spent 7 months traveling in South America, then I crossed the Pacific from Panama to Tahiti by hitchhiking the sails boats.
I've been 1 year in New Zealand, working and travelling around this fabulous country.
I did a world tour with another sailboat from Tahiti to France. It was an awesome experience.

In 2018, I hitchhiked from Singapore to Moscow. 23 000 kilometers, meeting all types of persons, they've all thought me a lot. I consider its the best thing I've done in my entire life.

In 2021 I've been traveling all around central America with a motorbike I bought in Honduras and lived in Mexico for a year.

After that I discovered the Yukon and the Alaska. I paddled down the whole Yukon River to the Bering see (3100 kilometers) during a solo expedition. I'm now writing a book about that. Hope to publish it soon.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really want to meet and share with local people while travelling, this is probably the best way to have a better understanding of our crazy world.

Interests

All sports - football fan .
Everything related to the ocean (sail, water activities,...)

Everything about mountains (hikes, lakes, glaciers, ski,...)

Passionate by history and geographic - geopoliticals

Travelling is my main interest.
I really need to meet new people, new cultures and new countries to feel overwhelmed

Of course the food is important for me, I like to try local food, and get to know more about traditions in each country

Music, Movies, and Books

Old French's singers, reggaeton,...

Historical and adventure books.
My Bible: Le monde en stop (hitchhiking around the world) by Ludovic Hubler.
This book gave me a lot of inspiration when I was younger and started traveling.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Crossing the Pacific from Panama to Tahiti hitchhiking boats.
Living on a sailboat during almost 1 year and facing the storms as well as the law of the sea but also discovering some of the most beautiful islands of the world.
