About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Forget the weight of the world

ABOUT ME

I'm a dynamic and open-minded young man, eagger to discover new cultures and travel all around the world, as soon as I have some free time.
I enjoy visiting must-do sites, but, as well, get closer to local populations, by trying to speak their language, and share with them.
Nevertheless, when I'm going abroad, I can't stand to stay eternally stuck in one place, or hostel, I need to go out and see the hidden face of a city...

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy this wonderfull world we live and go through my prejudices whenever I can have some. Life's too short not to be positive and breath deeply every minute of it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

From now, I haven't participated too much, honestly. I'm seldom home, and live in a small city, reason why I haven't had yet the opportunity to host people. But I definitely wanna explore that concept and make my own experience!
But I'm quite fond of the idea, and definitely want to experience it more!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm quite unexperienced when it comes to couch surfing, but I like the concept and the few experiences I had...
Ready to try again, and to host, depiste my poor availability.

Interests

Among many hobbies, I especially love music (playing guitar, and listening to any guitarisitical music), diving in in warm waters, surfing, and meeting new people.
I am quite interested in aeronautics (I fly), geopolitics, and foreign cultures (I learn Portuguese, and Russian at that moment).
I like reading (Tolstoi, Hemingway, Gary, Sartre), but I am always ready to party hard!

Music, Movies, and Books

I definitely love music, especially when there's some guitar in it (but not only :-) ): classic rock (Pink Floyd, Guns, 60s, 70s...), indies, as well as bossa-nova, flamenco, Spanish classical, Chopin nightwalks, or latin tunes...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swimming with oceanic animals always drive me crazy... I was lucky yo have the opportunities to snorkle a few times with dolphins and whale-sharks. Such epic adventures!

Finding me going out of a party, going by to my hostel by any mean, so as to take the coming train or plane. Quite a habit for me :-)

Teach, Learn, Share

I like learning from anyone, but sure, I tend to find it more exciting when people belongs to cultures I don't expect, and manage to take me by surprise.

Countries I’ve Visited

Argentina, Belarus, Brazil, Canada, China, Colombia, Comoros, Costa Rica, Djibouti, Ecuador, Indonesia, Israel, Japan, Jordan, Mexico, Montenegro, Morocco, Nepal, Norway, Philippines, Poland, Senegal, Serbia, Thailand, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, United States, Uruguay
