About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Discovering this big world and people living in here

ABOUT ME

I just left China where I spent the last four and a half year. Now looking for a new destination! For the last 6 years I lived for at least 3months in: Auxerre (Burgundy, maybe you know the football team or the 'Chablis'), Chalon sur saone (Burgundy but more red wine side:), Gambais (not far from Versailles and the castle), Lorient (Britanny, love the sea), Sydney (Australia, been there done that), Lymington (UK), Folonica (Italy), Brest (french and britanny far west!), Auckland (NZ, oy yeah), in my van in NZ (traveling around the whole country, amazing experience, Le Mans (rillettes, 24h and great CS community)...

I'm working in a design office for a firm building sailing boats.

PHILOSOPHY

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host people and sometimes surf.
I also participate in the meetings in the city I live.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted a few people, they all have nice stories to tell. Every time it's a new journey!

Interests

Love sailing, love travelling, take a lot of pictures...
I also like very much cooking and trying new tastes..
I also love dreaming in front of the map of the world wondering where I can go now... and talking with people of travelling experience.
I also like nature and trying to make as much as i individually can to protect our planet.

Books: Nicolas Vannier, Sylvain Tesson, Alexandre Poussin, Alexandra David Neel
Music: Les Ogres de barback, Tryo, NSK, Les cowboys Fringuants, Caravan Palace, Gotan Project

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Amazing is very subjective!
I have been skydiving. Doing several road trips on my own, always meeting great people. Sailing and racing boats in many locations around the world. An many more... as long as you enjoy what you are doing it is amazing!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share food of my own balcony garden or at least a herbal tea ;)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I ve recently started a 'zero waste home'. I don't ask hosts (those who are not willing to) to participate but at least to respect. It does not mean I have no rubbish bin (yet) but I do not accept 'useless gifts' or overpacked food for exemple.
I try to concider environment and use less ressources: water, electricity, gas but also paper, plastic and so on!

Countries I’ve Visited

Australia, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Morocco, Netherlands, Norway, Peru, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan

Countries I’ve Lived In

Australia, China, France, Italy, New Zealand, United Kingdom
