About Me

CURRENT MISSION

make friends from all over the world, broaden my mind, try all the world culinaries specialties, be shocked and surprised every day

ABOUT ME

Want to know about me ??

In a few words : I'm simple, easy-going, curious, unstable (can't stop traveling), nature lover, cooking lover, sports and sensations lover, and of course a traveller !!

I finished engineering studies (3 years ago now), but I wasnt ready to enter the workforce...So many things to do, so many place to explore, and so many people to meet...so I said f... my career and I started travelling !

I'm an outside guy !! In love with wild nature and outdoors activities (especially high sensation ones) !! I lived 3 years in Canada, one of the best place in the world for that ! I sailed all my way from EUrope to Australia, spent a year in New-zealand, and I'm now back in Australia!!

PHILOSOPHY

Give people what I'd like them to give me (can we say that ??^^)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As I kept travelling these 3 last years, I used couch surfing only as a guest. But as soon as I'll be "established", wherever I'll be, I want to receive as many couch surfers as possible to be able to give back in a way what I experienced and received from and with people during my travels -

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Just had a few couch surfing experiences, but all amazing ! slept in Kathmandu with 12 guests in the same room, stayed on a crazy boat in Cagliari (Sicilia) or in a wonderfull rooftop appartment in Napoli ! My host were wonderfull !

Music, Movies, and Books

So many movies, musics and books I'm interested in !!
I love music especially, one of the best way to express yourself, to communicate and to discovers different cultures (with cooking ahah !) ! I sure I'm gonna broaden my music knowledge through CS, and I'm really excited about it !!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've worked during 2 years (in Canada) on the creation (from the designing to the building and installation) of an innovative pump and irrigation system for a little poor village in deep country of Senegal (Africa). I went there this last autumn to install the machine ! That was such a great experience, such a big culture shock, such a grateful project !!
Sailing the world is pretty cool too^^

Teach, Learn, Share

I would never say no to a music (instrument) or a cooking lesson, or to crazies activities (with lot of sensations)! Actually I would never say to any activity or teaching !!! I said it, I'm curious !!
And I'll share and teach all that I can
