CURRENT MISSION

Discover my "personal legend" ( the alchemist)

ABOUT ME

I see life as a discover everyday, i like to think about myself as a seeker, so I try to learn as much as I can, languages, cultures, new experiences :) I care a lot of the people I love and like to share my thinking with them. What I'm looking for the most is honest people, people can be funny, calm, crazy or simply normal, what is the most interesting for me is to speak from the heart. I LOVE traveling, and after 6 years in Vietnam, I decided to move on and travel with my bike for 3 months in 4 countries in South-East Asia,It was the most amazing trip of my life so far!! Then I moved to Australia for 1 year, worked there to finance my travels. After that I went to Bali once again, visit my friends in Vietnam, and now I would like to start a business in Thailand

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that everyone on earth as a purpose to be here now, so there are billion of different purposes. Mine ? I think is to explore the world and myself and trying to be a better person with every experiences come to me, good or bad.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I met couchsurfers in Vietnam and Australia and it was always amazing. I love Couchsurfing because as soon as I met someone I contacted before we became very good friends like we know each other for a long time. I found that couchsurfers have the same kind of spirit: Like traveling, take and give what they can and a welcome heart.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met Dan Berlin, a magician traveling through CS, a year ago and we became brothers. He came to live with us in Nha Trang, and introduce me to couchsurfing. He was the first one, and all the next ones are still very good friends to me!

Interests

I love sports and everything with a physical activity, I love watching wild animals, they remind me how strange is our world, I like simply going to a place with a nice sight seeing with friends and talk about everything. As I said before I love traveling so if I have a chance to meet people and take my bike to discover a new place, I'm definitely in ! I like having discussion from the heart, watching BBC documentary, reading books, having a long sleep, watching a good movie with friends and taking photos ( I'm a beginner :).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The last experience remains in my mind is 3 months ago when I stayed in 2 pagodas in Dalat, Vietnam, stay with the monks who were so welcoming and carrying with me, follow their rules and wake up at 4h15 in the morning to meditate, eating vegetarian all my stay and take the time to see who I really am.

I have just came back from Bali with my mum and it was one of the most amazing holidays I had ! Going on a boat to follow the dolphins in the morning was unforgettable, feeding the monkeys there, and of course the Balinese people who are the kindest people I have ever met in my life.

10 years ago I went to China with my mum and sister, we went to the great wall which was amazing, but the most amazing part was when the tourist guide told our group that we could come back to the bus by a slide instead of the cable car ! Nobody wanted to do it cause the security was very low and the high was very deep but I did it with my sister and it was really something !

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach to people languages I know, I was a teacher for 4 years in Saigon, I could also teach the bit I know of cooking and I'm good to give good advices at traveling as I was a hotel manager in Vietnam and like to help people to have a good trip.

What I want to learn ? everything !
