ABOUT ME

"All I can do is be me, whoever that is" (Bob Dylan)

I really love the place where I live in France, with great friends, beautiful mountains, sunshine almost everyday... but... but I need to discover other cultures, to face others landscapes, to meet other people, to live new experiences... to feel alive ! That's why I have travelled and I'll travel again !

My "traveller way of life" is quite simply, I don't need comfort. To be openminded and tolerant are conditions for a a real trip, for disconecting with my "french" way of life : so I try to be...

opened and tolerant.

PHILOSOPHY

"Why do you live your life?" .here we are....
I guess life has a sense if I can bring something to others, to my family, to my friends, to you. Feel myself helpful. That's why I'm involved in local or international organizations about environment, climate, poverty, economic regulations....

But I also learned that I also had to live... for me ! It is important to take care of oneself, especially when you want to help others... That's why I travel from time to time, draw my own way. I travel for me, but I love to make a "smart" trip, meeting other people and other culture...

I don't know if what I wrote here is clear, but my "philosophy" looks something like this...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I discovered the CS network at the end of 2009, so I have tried it. And it was really awesome! It's definitely the best way to meet local people, to have conversations on our countries... So I participate by hosting travelers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have many experiences, as a host or as a surfer, and it has been weird everytime. Even if couchsurfing is now a little "mainstream", travelers and couchsurfers are openminded and interesting people !

Music, Movies, and Books

Music : I am a kind of music lover, so I am interessed in all kind of music. Actually, I have a preference for reggae, african or brasilian music, salsa. But when it sounds good, whatever that is, I will love it !

Movie : "Into the Wild" such a romantic adventure, asking questions deeeep inside of me. I also read the book from Ian Krakauer which inspired the movie.
