About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Backpacking in Central America for better or worse!

ABOUT ME

Hello there! I am a 26 year-old french engineer with a strong appetite for travelling. I am currently backpacking through Central America with a friend of mine. I love to meet locals abroad because I know it is the only way to get off the beaten track! And please note that I live in Paris and I would be thrilled to return the favor by hosting you anyday!

What I do like:
- serendipity
- (party) people
- purple unicorns

What I don´t like:
- Loneliness
- Work
- Mosquitos

I like couching, i like surfing, so I guess I like couchsurfing! Voulez vous couchsurfer avec moi ce soir?

PHILOSOPHY

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have known CS for a while now, but I have actually started using it quite recently. I have had the chance to meet a lot of people through CS, mostly to visit (hang out in) cities, often to share a coffee (beer), and sometimes to sleep (partying). Just loving it.

Interests

My friend Jean and I are in Central America for the next two months looking for fun and buddies. Our plans: Nicaragua in July, Costa Rica & Panama in August, and Colombia in September.
