About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Trouver de la joie dans le jeu de la vie

ABOUT ME

I was born in Paris where I did all my education before I started moving around in Spain, England and Germany.

After my graduation in 2009, I went for a six-month trip in South America. Part of this trip was also a project which aim was to give some French and South American children the possibility to discover each other using drawings we brought from one continent to the other. You can have a look on the project's blog if you want to know more about it http://steve-et-guillaume-en-amerique.blogspot.com

Student life has come to an end for a while now. After two years of work in Lyon as a solar energy engineer in Lyon, south east of France, I moved back to Paris where I am working for a wind turbine manufacturer.

I am living with my girlfriend in the north of Saint-Cloud, a city in the western suburb of Paris. It is a very quiet area, but well connected to the center with the tram T2 (4 stations from La Défense) and direct trains to gare Saint-Lazare.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I started using Couchsurfing during a 6 month internship in Hanover between March and September 2009, and I met a lot of wonderful people thanks to it. I also had a really nice CS trip in Madrid and took part in the Berlin Beach Camp in 2009.

I also did a lot of couchsurfing during my trip in South America, in Peru, Bolivia, Argentina and Chile.
