About Me

CURRENT MISSION

After travelling the world for 6 months I am now based in Dublin working for a tech company and want to meet up with fellow travelers from all over the world.

ABOUT ME

I am a 30 years old guy from France.
I was born in a countryside area where I did my primary education before moving to Nantes, Rennes for my business school. After a 6 months experience in London where I was promoting french wine I landed in Paris in 2010.
After 3 years in the french's capital, I got bored and left for a job opportunity in New York City in 2013, it was an awesome experience professionally and personally speaking. Then I quit my job for a 6 months backpacking travel and when i got back I found my dream job here in Dublin.

Other than that I like practicing sports : football, tennis, squash, kayak, rafting, running...

Forgot to say that I love travelling and I am so happy of the decision I took to take a career break in january 2015 for a 6 months round the world trip. I believe everyone should travel alone at least once for more than 3 months once in his life;

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I hosted approximately 20 people in my Paris and New York apartments either on couchsurfing or Airbnb. I am registered because when you are travelling for a long term it becomes the best option to get to know culturally the country and its people as well as saving the money you can't spend anyway into hotels-).
for now I am more planning on hosting than being guest;

Interests

Any new experience should be of interest to me.
I am deeply interested to understand the world we are living in and its future.
I like Walking or bicycling and get lost in big cities.
And as I said before I am really into sports.
