About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Getting ready for l'am' del Sur !

ABOUT ME

Instinctive traveller, I love to leave room for the unexpected when I'm wandering around... It's usually how I get my best experiences, shots, find the most amazing people...

I'm originally French, but it's been a long time since I've been there for more than a week... I 'm currently working as an engineer in Switzerland, which is a country with amazing landscapes, but a bit too much rules sometimes !!

Something I need to mention: my jokes are usually seen as terrible. I guess there's nothing I could do against that !!

PHILOSOPHY

If things go rough, always try to think it could have been worse !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Will be travelling soon, so might not be able to propose a couch... But when I'm back I have plenty of room in my flat !

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Only meeting people. Unfortunately never hosted anyone else than friends !!

Interests

Most of all, I love photography (I barely travel without my Canon !!), travelling, sports, cooking and eating, enjoying mother Nature by any way, driving my loved 1974 beetle in the countryside, and new experiences in general (I kind of have a "to do" list to finish checking before I die !)
I also love learning new things, meeting smiling people and shaking my hips on dancefloors !!!
I'm currently about to pass my paragliding licence !
