About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Find some interesting people and always discover something new

ABOUT ME

I'm a frenchman, easy-going, really curious and interested in meetig new people. I like travelling, having fun and meeting other international people, especially english speakers..it's easier to communicate!
But i keep learning spanish at the moment !

After a few years working in telecommunications engineering, I've been travelling a lot this year. I went hiking in Bolivia and Argentina, then I went to Portugal to do kitesurfing, had a bicycle trip in Norway...and now I'm travelling through Australia for one year.

My girlfriend joined me 7 months ago and we bought a Van together. After building a bed and some shelves in it, we started our roadtrip in Newcastle and followed the Coast through Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Port Lincoln, Nullarbor...then drove all the way through Perth, the Kimberley, Katherine, Townsville.

PHILOSOPHY

Help your neighbour and be what you have to be.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I started before knowing couch surfing ! First time I tried was in England, my first day, I didn't know anybody and I met a really kindly girl who helped me for a few nights. I did the same few months later by lodging a french man that I met in Leeds' airport, and now he is one of my best friends! Sometimes, some people would say that it's quite crazy and unsafe to lodge people U don't know, but for me it's just that I have a good feeling! I also met two German girls and I told them they could make themselves at home. They told me I had the same behaviour as "Couch Surfing" people!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A lot of surfing but not much couching.

Interests

I like...surfing (real surfing!) and all the activities including surfing (kite, wind). I also play a bit of guitar, I like fishing too, right now I'm trying to play harmonica !
