Hi everybody !

I'm Gamgie (my real name is Clement). About me where do I start.
Well, I'm almost 30 now. When I was in France I created my own project of mixing magic and illusion to new technologies. I was working with a magician. He was performing on stage and I was creating / supervising the digital part. Mixing skills of artistic direction, 3d developer, digital artist and show manager. This project was a lot of fun and working in a creative field help me a lot to open my mind and show me how art can actually save the world. I'm not kidding.

After 5 years doing this, I decided I wanted a break to explore the world and myself. So I left France in November 2016 for South America. I've been in Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, California, Mexico. And it's not finished.
The idea was to travel with my own rythme, slowly, to discover new people, new culture and stay where I was feeling good.
Also travel in a simple way, far from touristic industry. I travel mostly hitchhiking, I camp most of the time, I walk a lot (a lot !!!), I work along the way, create handcraft to help me in my travel. The idea was to reconnect to simplicity, be far away of my comfort zone and enjoy this as a gift. It was maybe my way to go into a deep introspection.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to share ! From all my CS experience, it's always interesting to meet people here and share knowledge, jokes, good moments.

Interests

I love mountain sports (ski, snowboard, mountain climbing). I was living in the Alps for 3 years and I fall in love with mountains !
And in general everything you can ride !
