About Me

ABOUT ME

I am french guy living in barcelona, since 2006 to now, with a 3-year break living/working in London.
Before that I have been for short and mid term periods in Canada, Germany and other places in the North of Spain.

My life is much about travelling, I wish I could go everywhere and know every single place in this world. I like learning foreign languages, learn about people culture and interests, experiencing different lifestyles.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe life is short, so every second is important. Living is not about working hard. Making very rich people even richer is unfortunately what too many of us spend most of our time at... Our place in this world has to be more spiritual.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I live in a very little flat in the center of Barcelona, I can welcome one person for one night. More people and/or nights gets quickly uncomfortable due to the lack of space.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I don't have an extensive experience of couchsurfing, but I am confident with the system and community, in both ways.
I am definitely ready for more.
