French, kind of a social worker, job counseling for the 16-25 people, freelance photographer and reader, édition industry (webtoons) living at the franco-italian border, the french riviera.

I'm peaceful, would say "contemplative", simple and sociable.

Here in below you can have a preview of how I see things :)

Eyes wide open.

Don't believe my age, I'm young at heart, and a friendly bear.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

1. I like to share views and the riches from around and inside, would love to share local recipes and mine !

I'd like to meet and help discover the beautiful region where I live, at the French Italian border, between mountains and sea.

2. I'd also like, when I travel, to meet and discover the real country, the life of the "autochtones", their reality, then share mine (read 1.) well I expect the same I'd do :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once chatting with our guide in Cambodia, he sais "I was a monk", I answer "me too" (that's true), it was very exceptional as a meeting, in the heart of this wonderful trip in Cambodia.
Marked me for life.
