CURRENT MISSION

Be surprise and amaze by all the things the world has to offers.

ABOUT ME

I have been graduated as IT developer in September 2014. In order to celebrate the end of my student life, I decided to start a 9 month world trip over New Zealand, Chile, Bolivia, Peru, South of Brazil,Uruguay, Argentina, USA and Canada.

I got back home in August 2015, and since then I found a job and a flat in Paris.

As you can imagine, as an IT engineer, I’m a little bit of a geek. I like playing game, whether it is card game, board game or video game.
I enjoyed every single one of my lasts couchSurfing experiences, and wish to continue the adventure by hosting members.

PHILOSOPHY

I don't really have a personal philosophy. I just want to enjoy my life. Discover things, try new stuffs.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first experience with CouchSurfing was in 2007 during a trip at New-York with a friend. We were host 3 times, at New York, Buffalo and Philadelphia. Each time, it was a real happiness to spend some time around a good meal and share with warming hosts.

I am admiring the kindness of hosts I met. So, in order to thank them, I try to bring a little something as a gift as often as possible.

One CouchSurfeur I met is a fan of board game, as I am. So I brought a board game called Carcassonne, which is one of my favorite. When arriving at my host home, I find out that he had a huge closer full of games. I was afraid that he already had my game, or, if not, that he doesn't like it. Fortunately, I brought one of the few games than he likes but hadn’t bought yet!
He was very touched by my gift, and it was a very beautiful moment.

During my 2014-2015 world trip, I used CS and meet LOT of great people in Australia, Brazil, Argentina and USA).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sky-diving is truly the funiest and most frightening thing I ever done.

Swimming with dolphins at Kaikoura, New Zealand.

Hiking the Angels' Landing trails in Zion National Park, the Inca trail to Macchu Pichu in Peru and the Milford trail in New Zealand.

Teach, Learn, Share

Things I have to improve:

- My English, my Spanish and my Portuguese!

Things I have to learn:

- Scratching (In a parallel universe I'm a DJ),

Things I could teach:

- I made delicious tuna pie (thanks mum), and crêpes,
- I developed a very personal and ridiculous dance that I use on girly pop song. My girlfriend loves it. I can teach it, but I'm not sure than you really want to learn it...
