Yo!
I'm Cyrille but you can call me Cissou. I'm 29, French, living in Paris.
I'm a travel addict, starting to get frustrated because I've stayed in France for too long!!
But i enjoy a lot my life in Paris. I work A LOT but I've got crazy friends and a crazy girlfriend which make life pretty intense !

A few years ago, I created a non-profit called InFocus which I am the director. We're a small team of 10 people, making videos for other non profits that do not have the means to pay for a professional video.

Thanks to this, I traveled quite a lot: I did a 1 year trip (in 2013) with two very good friends, Clement and Kevin, to make videos for non profits around the world. We had the opportunity to go in Haiti, Argentina, Uganda, Kenya, Bangladesh, Malaysia, India, Cambodia, China.

This was THE big trip, eventhough I'm already thinking about the next one...

However I also had opportunities to travel before and after this 1 year trip : I lived in China for 6 months, I backpacked in Mexico, Guatemala, the US, Bulgaria, Romania, Morocco, Viet Nam, Egypt..

I feel like I never live more intensely than when I'm abroad. So when i can't travel for a while, I start having my hands that shake, I hear voices and the only way to get back to normal is to violently go for savage diners in foreign countries' restaurants in Paris :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I had several incredible experiences surfing couches around the world... Especially Alina and Blas (Alinababas and Blasito), i am sure that I could meet incredible people even on a shorter stay !!
