About Me

ABOUT ME

Curious, thoughtful and sometimes daring, I move when the opportunities and meetings arise.

From now on, I am travelling in Peru after spending two years in Brussels (BE).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing to meet new people, through a more convenient and informal experience. Nevertheless, at a time when our societies tend to push us towards over-consumption, it's been essential to encourage uninterested, free and solidarity-based acts. We give, we receive ... it respects the natural order of things. The connections and the relationships we create remains even more enriching.

Interests

Some aspects of the electronic music guides my trips, and I like to be surprised by experimental sound and visuals. But I also do appreciate going to the cinema and relaxing in a park or café (as everyone I suppose).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

More recently, I have almost crossed the tanzanian-mozambican border illegally, and that was a totally insane adventure. (2017)

I've hitchhiked more recently from Agen (hometown) to Lisboa with my delightful sister, stopping in Chaves, Braga, Porto, Aveiro and Lisboa (1450 Km). (2015)

I've hitchhiked from Warsaw to Tokyo over 11 386 Km, crossing Poland, Ukraine, Russia, Mongolia, China and Japan. 2 months were required to end this adventure and if you wonder how I manage to get to Japan, I simply took a ferry between Shanghai and Osaka. (2015)

I slept once in the latvian forest under the stars .... and the rain, lost, tired, without tent or sleeping bag. (2014)

Teach, Learn, Share

I love sharing stories around a good meal and I can definitively cook for the occasion (simple things I appreciate the most).
