About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Discover the world, discover new ways of life and share good moments.

ABOUT ME

I'm a sportsman who likes the nature and the mountain. I travel the world to find beautiful places where I can practice sport. I like visit cities and discover new cultures. When I travel, I want to exchange with the population in order to immerse myself in the culture. I'm studying material sciences in Augsburg (Germany) for my last semester of study. As my parents live in the mountain I love skiing (alpine ski, cross-country ski and ski touring) and hiking. I practice cross country ski in competition as a high level athlete.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy your life because you've got only one.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I travel by using couchsurfing and meeting new people. I can't host people now but it would be a pleasure when I will have finished my study and have my own home.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have visited Senegal with a friend with couchsurfing. I discovered the way of life and the culture of the country in suburbs of Dakar.
I also travelled through Italy, Slovenia and Croatia in a road trip with my girlfriend and we spent some nights in different places, discovering the way of life of the inhabitants of those countries and also teaching them a bit of French culture.

Interests

In my free time I like to practice sport : running, ski, ride my bike, read a book, discover a new place and admire beautiful landscapes... I also like to enjoy a drink with friends and spend time with them and my family. As I like the nature and the mountain, I like photography, making nice picture of the the place I visit and the people I meet is a nice way to keep good memories.

Music, Movies, and Books

I can listen almost all kind of music, depending on my mood of the moment.
I have read "Born to run" few months ago and since that time I always think about the first purpose of running when I'm in the mountain, in a forest, feeling free and so small but happy!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ski touring at the top of the Mont Blanc
Vice world Champion of rollerski in Norway
Practised cross country in a ski tunnel in Finland
Slept at the top of the Mont Aiguille, a moutain in France with friends

Teach, Learn, Share

I love cooking and it would be a pleasure to teach some French specialities while drinking a glass of wine. I like to learn the different cultures and the different way of life of the country I'm visiting.
I can also give some advices in photography. It's always a pleasure to share my passion for the sport, practising it with new people and getting to know each other through sport.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My passion for the sport, the nature and the mountains. Go running in the mountains around Grenoble or have a drink :)
