About Me

Hi there,

I'm a 26 frenchman, I've been living in London for almost 2 years now but I'm from Paris originally. I have lived in several places in France, studying in different fields like archeology, landscape design and botany.

I am currently working as a botanical horticulturist at Kew Gardens, so I guess I can say that like plants, gardening and botany. But like a lot of different things, from independant movies to hiking, surfing or mountaineering.

I love travelling (who dosen't though) and I usually try to travel with a certain purpose in mind, trying to mix travelling with another thing. So you might find that if I am looking for a place to stay in your town or country it will most certainly because I am on a botanic trip, working for a few days abroad or on a climbing or surfing trip.

I am very easygoing and always interested to meet new people, share stories and beers, learn about a new place and discover new cultures.
