About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Trying to get used to employee life after 4 years of being a bit everywhere all at once. Stability feels kinda nice! But to balance it out I'm starting to perform stand up comedy in Brussels' caves, so there's that. And still producing my hiking documentary on the side.

In 2022 I hiked along the HexaTrek in France. 3034km to get from German border to Basque Country by the mountains.

Also I'm working on a documentary series of my hike, 7 episodes done, here is the playlist to see me doing absolutely everything outside of hiking in a hiking series (I'm so good at marketing for a niche audience)

Was recently in Batumi, Georgia, where I was a French and English teacher for months.

Before that I thru-hike the Via Adriatica in Croatia in 2020 (1100KM across wild mountains, sleeping in my tent in bear-infested woods and mine infested fields).

ABOUT ME

I'm a French guy from Toulouse, used to work as a journalist in Belgium, now as a communication officer (love those fancy titles for a guy that does tweets).
When I don't have enough money or time to travel, I love to help other people to do so. That's why I'm here.
I love meeting strangers from all over the world so, even if we don't speak the same language, we will find out how to communicate.

PHILOSOPHY

Keep tryin'

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting and surfing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been a host and a guest, even a tour guide there.

Interests

Yours, I really love to talk with people different than me.
Although I love to write, drink black coffee while listening to jazz (yeah, I'm that cliché), drink beers in cool places, listen to stand-up comedy and climbing on stage to do the same without puking, hike in the mountains, cook made up meals or following traditional recipes (Bibimbap or Boeuf Bourguignon anyone? ), ride my motorcycle around town in the dense traffic, cycle around town in the dense traffic, break my knees over and over again, have knee surgery and rehabs over and over again, go to the gym, watch dumb movies, play video games... And do things I have never done before.

Music, Movies, and Books

Impossible to pick, I love so many different kinds and I'm not big on hierarchy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Come/let me stay and I'll tell you!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you everything, even though I know nothing on the subject. It's kind of a superpower, I guess.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Fantastic coffee (not joking around with those roasted brown delights, I'm one of those annoying hipster that will tell you why Italian coffee means nothing).
