ABOUT ME

Hi,
I come from a village in south-east of France, La Fare les Oliviers. I studied 2 years in Marseille, 3 semesters in Metz (north-east of France), 1 in Paris (a good one ^_^) and 3 in Dresden (the nicest city for me). Then I worked in Nepal, France, Germany, Central African Republic and Pakistan.
I like to travel slowly, trying to deeply understand people.

PHILOSOPHY

Voyager forme l'esprit.
(?) Traveling develops the mind.
(?) Reisen bildet den Geist aus.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Thanks to Couch Surfing, I had a great time traveling in USA (only a very small part for this first time: Madison, Chicago & NY).

I have been happy to give back a bit to the community, hosting some while I was living in Dresden (Germany). It's a wonderful city, my favourite in Europe!
