About Me

Hello there ! Well you want to know about me.. hum.. not easy to just introduce yourself in front of somebody who's just not in front of you right now ;)

Maybe the best is just to speak about my hobbies, they often reflect which kind of person you are. So I'm quite an athletic guy, l love bike ridding, ski, trail, and all kind of water sports! Actually I grew up just next to the sea in Normandy, so I sail a lot! My "specialty" is windsurf but I love Catamaran, Laser, 420... I kept sailing on small boats though and i never had to chance to sail on open seas. Maybe one day :)

Since i moved in Lyon to study, I fell in love with the mountain activities, in winter, ski and in summer, hiking and trail running. This year I'm training to try triathlon (but swimming is not my best...).

Well as you can see I love fresh air, getting lost in a beautiful place surrounded by mother nature! I'm also boy scout since very young and this year because I'm starting to work I had to stop taking care of my young scouts in the group I joined in Lyon.

After all theese activities I do, the one I most enjoy is having great time with friends, nice people i just met.. often with a beer in our hand, in a pub or something, maybe just playing a card game in the living room with my room-mates! :) Yes I share the apartment with two friends and we share all our meals together, and a whole bunch of things in the apartment, it's kind of a prestigious place because we have this apartment since the beginning of college and most of our friend came to live a couple of mouths here!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

First because I'd like to share the nice location we have in Lyon (10min by métro from the city center) and the view we have from our apartment!

Second because I'm traveling a lot with my new job so I'll be very pleased to meet people from the place I'll be working sometimes for 1 week-end sometimes I'll stay 1 month.. And I think couchsurfing is the best way to discover what kind of way of life people have in every region of the world!
