Hello every body!

I am Florian, 26 years old, an IT Consultant (not a consultant but an analyst for companies :p, because I began to work as a complete employee just since 2 years). I am based in Lausanne since Feb 2016.

I am born in Brive-La-Gaillarde (small city of 50 000 habitants in South West of France => if you don't know, It's ok ;). I spent my 19 first years there, until the college. Then I went to South East (Provence Region) to get a Technical and a Bachelor degree in Computer Science; to finish by a Master Degree at Lyon.

It's 2nd of December 2015 today. What can I tell you about my pastimes? The first thing that I can say, I just come back from a 1-month trip. November 2015 was amazing: 15 days in Dubai (3rd time there), 7 days in India (Bangalore), 7 days in Philippines (Manila, Palawan island) = Amazing trip (You will devine that my first favorite pastime :p ... It's TRAVELS and DISCOVER PEOPLE, exchange same or different points of view, and we know that the most important is the respect of each people.

About my trips, I've been in Canada (East Cost) (6 months of living, Master's internship at Ottawa), US, Germany (Munich 1 time), Spain, Portugal, Italy, Switzerland where I met a lot of interesting people into each country.

I also like
- Hiking in the mountains,
- Shopping when I have enough money to do that :p, gastronomy of each country (each country has its own food, I like it because It give me a good reason to try something new and discover)
- Assist in Sporting and Festive Events
- Pool and Beaches moments

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I will never forget my trips in North America. Every week-ends, I rented a car and drive 8-10 hours to go and discover American and Canadian cities. I also discovered national parks and big cities. It is a very important and unforgettable part of my life.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I think that every advice is good for every people. I like sharing advices and tricks which I know. I can give also my returns of my experiences and advises. For example, I could advice you about restaurants in Paris (where you can eat Italian, Mexican, French, Asian ... food), pubs and nightclubs (depending of music style or desired environment) ...
