About Me

ABOUT MY CURENT TRIP.
My partner and I are doing a mini around the world trip mainly the Americas (North, central and South) you can also check her CS profile
https://www.couchsurfing.com/users/2003835114. We have both travel a lot alone and together but only discover couchsurfing recently.

ABOUT ME
When people ask me where I'm from I will usually say that I'm a French guy living in Australia. But it's a bit more complicated than this I'm not even born in France and only lived there 7 of my 33 years. I'm born in Belgium, lived in China, France, U.K. And now Australia for the last 8years. Overall it's a big mess but I love it. I'v been lucky to travel since I was a kid and know I just can't stop. It's ADDICTIVE !!!

I'm a real joker always up for a good laugh, but I also love serious conversation or debate. (Of course I like to be right but also like to be proven wrong).I'm the type of guy that love trying and learning new thing.
I believe in doing good things and good things will happen to you. I love living in the moment my motto is "Carpe Diem" ( seize the day) I got it tattooed on my heart so I never forget.
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery but today is a gift that why it's called the "present"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
