Overview
About Me
Sometimes I work, sometimes I travel, sometimes I do both.
I met this guy on this website once who was a translator and travelled around the world. I thought that was pretty cool, so I became a translator myself. Thank you, dude.
I just came back from a one-year Working Holiday Visa in New-Zealand, travelling in a campervan. I also travelled a bit in South-East Asia before coming back to France.
It's always quite hard to describe yourself without sounding like an arrogant asshole (or is that just me?)
My friends tell me I have a terrible sense of humour, yet secretly I'm sure they're just jealous of my great jokes, right?
Anyway, I like to meet people, to exchange a few stories and discover new cultures. I'm pretty laid-back and open-minded. Let's meet and grab a beer together!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Well, my first experience on Couchsurfing was in 2012.
I wanted to travel by myself around the East Coast of the US and around Canada for a couple weeks. Since I had a low budget, Couchsurfing was actually a great idea. Plus, it was my first time travelling alone so I thought meeting new people would actually be great.
I ended up couchsurfing in a dozen cities. I loved every part of it. I got to meet so many interesting people who always had great suggestions regarding what I should experience.
It's been a while now since my last surfing experience, as I haven't travelled by myself for a while now. But I lived such great moments last time that I am very excited to surf again!
Interests
I've been rockclimbing for a couple years now, I'm not very good at it but I really enjoy it.
I also played a lot of table tennis when I was younger, and recently transitioned to squash. Same same really.
I can talk for hours about a few of my hobbies. You'll have to stop me.
