Overview
About Me
About me (2019):
I realized quite recently that the only thing that matters in life was to share human relationship (however i have watched "Into the wild" a long time ago and I read the book since :) That probably why I love to travel by myself and to meet new people on my way.
I wouldn't call myself an adventurer because I don't travel that much. But I have big plans for the future !
I'm a very joyful guy, talkative and very respectful (of your home, your habits or believes). I don't really have limits when it comes to talk. I would only stop if I feel that you are unconfortable with the topic.
Sometimes you meet people with whom you feel perfectly harmonised and sometimes less. That's a part of the game. It doesn't have to work every time ;)
About travelling :
I use to travel around Asia but I'm feeling more and more attracted by South America and Africa as well.
I don't really like to stay at the same place for more than 2-3 days -except for Mongolia where I enjoyed to live like a nomad for 2 weeks (in 2012 then in 2016 again). i often find museums and sightseeings quite boring and I feel myself more attracted by landscapes and nature.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I met 3 couchsurfers who gave me hospitality in London where I stayed for 1 week in summer 2009. It was my first experience and I enjoyed it a lot. So now, when traveling, I always use couchsurfing to meet people for drinks or to find a place to sleep or even to get some advices about sightseeing :)
That s how I met a lot of couchsurfers in Vietnam, Turkey, China, Mongolia,.., and even in France. Take care, it could be u next time :)
