About Me

Back from one year traveling all around the world, I'm always glad to meet people from everywhere !

Actually living in a sailboat at Brest port, with my cat, Gribouille. It's not that big. I have a private cabin, confortable enough for one person (or two intimate ones). I can't host many many people, obviously.

I'm a music player ! I have some different instruments, let's jam if you're up to !
I'm also a beer lover, and brew my own one here.

I mostly like outdoor stuff, almost everything linked with the sea or the mountain. From Brest, let's forget about that mountain stuff... At least there are some magestic coast and beaches here ! Spots for surfing, windsurfing, diving, or just walking along beaches and cliffs.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've started couchsurfing hosting people several years, as my study were keeping me away from traveling that much. Since I'm done with that, I've been hosted and met amazing people with couchsurfing ! Every time it's different, and always a great experience !

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can go with you on a walking tour in Brest, or a sailing tour around, sometimes driving to some good spot to see somewhere around.
Are you a musician ? We'll be able to do something singing / playing my guitare / bass / ukulele / hitting a bucket to make noise !
For beer lovers, you can always taste my craft beer, and I also know the best places in Brest to drink some ! If you come at the right time and want to, maybe you can help me craft one ? Brest is a rainy place, sometimes it's good to have indoor stuff to do haha ! I have some video games too, and a cat willing to keep you attention all the time !
When I'm too busy, there is a bus driving from my place to Brest, and a small beach less than 5 min walking from here.
