About Me

In short, I quit my 9to5 desk-working routine to pursue a long term life of travel with my girlfriend. I have always wanted to travel the world to discover new places, people, cultures and engage in all kind of adventures especially the one involving extreme sports.
We will be traveling to far east as a first destination and on a budget while trying to generate some income via different means ranging from online business to on-site volunteering jobs or on-site regular jobs...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think Couchsurfing is a great way of saving up money while meeting new people at the same time. Plus I am not the touristic type of traveller so I am much more interested in discovering the untold and unknown stories, places and people of the countries I am visiting. Using Couchsurfing will definitely come in handy for the lifestyle that I am aiming for.

Movies: Chasing Mavericks -
Books: the power of now - The celestine prophecy - The tenth insight - Stephen king's stories...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the things I am really proud of, was to head over to Poitier in central France and perform my first skydiving jump by-myself (not the Tandem jump but the PAC discovery one :))). I can still remember the amazing feeling of achievement and the huge excitement and adrenaline rush of that day.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a license in physics and mathematics so I can teach both.
I am fluent in 3 languages so I can teach or/and translate all of them.
I used to be a ski/snowboard instructor so I can teach both sports
I am a good cook

What I Can Share with Hosts

Well I come from a multicultural country known for its ethnic diversity. During my whole life I got to acquire a lot of knowledge in so many things. I am even fluent in 3 languages.
As a Couchsurfer I am willing to share all my knowledge and skills with my host whether it is about education, work, cooking...
