About Me

CURRENT MISSION

settle in Lausanne, enjoy the people & area

ABOUT ME

As a travel lover, I spent almost all my money to travel and visit new places :)
Sometimes with my motorbike, just amazing (last trip in Corsica island was just awesome) !

I'm also interested in Photography, music and doing lot of sports (badminton/squash, running, diving as few examples).
I love & need challenges in both private and professional areas, I see the world like a place full opportunities and not full of threads :)

Lausanne is really a nice place to live thanks to the proximity with the Alpes for Skiiing and hiking, plus mountain biking..

I'm an open-minded person, looking to see and meet open people, share & enjoy the present time. My main concern is to discover new things and definitely to enjoy life, following my challenges, dreams and the opportunity pumping ^^

During the year I enjoyed a lot my "small" round-the-world trip and Couchsurfing has been a revelation !
This is definitely the best way I know to enjoy travelling !

PHILOSOPHY

do your best to achieve your own goals in respect with other people ; see the happiness even in small things, share, meet, connect with people that's the most coolest things to do to feed your soul.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Choosen to be the "surprised guest" in the Alcatraz restaurant of Tokyo, simulating an evasion from the jail.. catched inside by the waitress, with a typical jail music in background and all camera of other guest shooting myself with their camera during my "punishment" =)
just crazy !
