About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Open your eyes, open your mind, travel and share!

ABOUT ME

My reason to live is to make every new day a new experience, to find some motivations of loving this beautiful world.

For 7 years, I've been trying to earn a small amount of money each year to escape and discover a new country, staying more than a little while, understanding the reality of the people. After a year of travel, I'm staying now in Paris, working as a Journalist. Still saving some money and ready to go for another world ride...

I like meeting new people, laughing at a good joke and enjoying a couple of beers on a cool spot.

PHILOSOPHY

Slow down, take it easy...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A few very cool experiences: meeting some families in New Zealand, having a few CS meetings in Vietnam and in Paris, everytime I got an good vibe with Couchsurfers.

Interests

Hiking in the mountains, biking, and sitting on a bench listening to the street's noise! Recently I found out how scubadive was an addiction to me...

Otherwise, reading, gathering with friends, going for livemusic!

And by the way, sociology, anthropology, history, politics, ecology, traveling... I was working for my studies on how tourism can benefit to locals, so I'm still very interesting on what people think about it!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I got lost in the night in the foggy Andes at a height 4500 meters in a wonderful but exhausting hike!

I skydived over New Zealand, scubadived in many places in Asia and Australia, ate different kinds of insects, enjoyed the scatchy buses of Burma, well I've been through quite a few stuff...

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to introduce you to my country, thanks to my studies, to speak about the way of how the world is evolving, politically, socially, economically, and ecologically... I've spent part of my life on the road, so I'm pretty happy to talk about it.

Sharing a meal is also a big hit for me, I like cooking a lot, so be ready to be my guinea pigs!

I'd love to learn any forms of music, of way of thinking, any traditions or to taste some typical drinks or food you could show me!
