About Me

CURRENT MISSION

This summer I won't be home often so I change my profile to "can't host" but you still can ask, never knows...

ABOUT ME

I like meeting people, I'm quite sociable and easy to live with.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have mostly surfed but I can´t wait to be back in France so I can host again people. I like the idea of sharing moments of life with any people and anytime.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

World trip : 2015-2016
With my 3 friends (Alice, Margaux and Julia), we stayed several times with couchsurfers, it was always a great experience.
- Malaysia : Afif was an amazing host, we stayed with him two times, he drived us aournd Kuala Lumpur and helped one of our friend while she was in trouble, really nice.
- Vietnam : Tony and his sister host us in Ho-Chi-Minh, they cooked a local meal for us, that was a lovely moment.
- Cambodia : We stayed with a french girl, Melanie, and thanks to her, we discover a nice place to drink free beers ! Hahaha
- Thaïland : Divan host us in the heart of Patong (in Phuket), such a funny time of party for Julia´s birthday...!
- Australia : We met 4 couchsurfers in Australia, thay made us discover local places, again, very nice moments with Fabio, Stan and his friends, Robert and Chase.
- New-Zealand : First time hosted in a bus ! Manu was travelling with his big bus and wanted to meet people, whatever the place he could offer, that was just an amazing time. We also stayed with Matthew in Tauranga, a really nice guy.
- Argentina : One night with Arif in Ushuaia, this amazing musician and his friends.

Madeira : février 2015
Luis in Funchal, thanks for everything, advices and cooking, nice stay ! :)
