FR : Je travaille et je vis dans une station de ski, située en Savoie a 20min de Saint jean de Maurienne.
Sont bienvenus les voyageurs qui apprécient de séjourner en montagne ; mon appartement est a 20m du départ de télésiège pour le ski, le snowboard, ou en dehors de l'hiver : la rando ou ...just relax :-)

How to come to my place with public transportation :

About myself :
I am Geoffroy, recently came back of a trip around the world which lasted two years, making that old dream a reality! My adventures across 32 countries gave me so much lifetime experiences.
I'm friendly, open minded person, I like to share travel stories and learn more about foreign cultures.

Along the way, couchsurfing gave me so much more than a "couch". I really wish to help travellers in return.
I became a travel film-maker ; you can watch sample videos of my adventures while visiting my facebook page :
👉 "@TravelCaribou"

I enjoy outdoor activities, sightseeing landscapes, mountain trekking, climbing, old culture discovering ...
To meet local people from other countries is a chance - to share travelling experiences is awesome - , To understand more about your cultures, food, around a beer and a guitar sound, ... just great.
Yes, for that, i LOVE Couchsurfing.

Feel free to contact me if you plan to visit France, i will be glad to help you. Geoffroy

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiking consecutive days the great wall of china, saw the remoted ruins far from tourists sites. A time travel.

Climbing Himalayan peaks 6476m (merapeak) and 6119m (Lobuche) on expedition, where the surrounding view from the top is a lifetime experience!

Saw the shaking magma lake waves of Ambrym volcano in Vanuatu, the force of earth at 1500°C

Climbed Mount Fuji alone on Winter, at night getting the sunrise on the top at 4:30 AM. That was amazing and wonderful to see !

Experienced the beauty of Galapagos islands wild and its fauna; i shared the beach with sealions and water Dragons

Hitchhiked more than 5000km in the Patagonia, both sides Chile and Argentine, that allowed me to learn a little of Spanish langage.

Walked the salt desert of Uyuni, Bolivia, at mirror time for sunrise. Breathtaking!
