Hello,

My name is François-Xavier, I'm 29. I was born in France but raised in Belgium and Chad until 13. Then back to Paris :)

I'm a designer, working for a education startup, based in Paris. We help freelancers and independants to kickstart their project (https://www.livementor.com/).

I'm fond of vietnamese and japanese food, but also lebanese food and, of course, I love cheese.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been on AirBnb at its premisces. When it really meant "welcome home". I really enjoyed taking care of my "guests". Today it's not the case anymore, and above all, my two best friends told me about how awesome was CouchSurfing experience.

I plan to do more travels alone, and I'm truly curious. Many friends told me about the phenomenal mindset for travellers Couchsurfing is.

I'm traveling to Colombia, and I'm eager to get to know the Colombian culture, and of course, meet other people. It means having good talks, laughs and share our views on the world. If we get along well, I would be happy to hangout together!

Interests

- I prefer tasting food than testing museums
- I'm not a graphic designer, but I love typography and hand lettering,
- I can't stop moving my shoulders when I hear drums, especially Cuban drums, African drums, and Japanese drums.
- That's why I like to drop a beat, as I learned some beatboxing
- You can find me as well hiking, moutains are great in winter, but delightful in summer
- I recently discovered meditation through zen mindfullness approach, and I like it

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was a kid, I used to live in Chad. with my parents and my sister.

We went in the desert in North Chad. The feeling of a sea of sand really stroke me. Something you can't imagine until you feel it for real!
