Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travelling is a part of me. Since I started when I was in university, I've never stopped it. Unluckily, due to budget reason, only in Europe, but I am planning to expand my horizons soon.

I am on Couchsurfing because I have understood there's no better way to explore and know a city than going with some locals. I managed to discover great places which are not in the main travel guides thanks to people I've meet there. And that's the best surprise one can take from a travel.

And second : I love to meet people which are different from me and from whom I can learn now amazing things. And I've alway's been a good learner :)

Interests

If I am here, travelling is maybe the most important.

Then comes photography. As an amateur, I spent the last two years to practice travelling all around Europe. What I prefer is Street Photography and Architecture… I am really proud every time I manage to freeze beauty in a pic.

Music, Movies, and Books

For music I adore traditional music: from Irish folk to Klezmer, from Italian Taranta to the african sounds.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Getting invited to a stranger wedding party in Doolin, Ireland.

Assisted to the striking procession of the empalaos, in Extremadura, Spain.

Enjoyed a foggy night out alone in Florence, taking pictures.

Biking all along the Loire river, in France, and feeling like I was gonna die crossing the bridge in St. Nazaire.

Spent an afternoon with a woodcarver in Ciocanari, Romania.

Licking an iceberg in Jokulsarlon, Iceland.
