CURRENT MISSION

I am in Cap Town (South Africa) for the 2nd time. I will be doing kite surfing, paragliding, the wine roads, etc.. I am really looking forward for this great life experience.

I love to have qualitative intercultural experiences and to learn from others... and YOU especially ;-)

ABOUT ME

Well... I think I am a nice guy who do not like to talk about him too much but rather listen to others... It is much more interesting ;-)

PHILOSOPHY

Learn more from your neighbour, from other cultures, other roots.... Learn that the difference makes us stronger !!! That's the beauty of life !!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Still not a very experienced CSer... I think it is a great opportunity because it is a sustainable way to build international friendships, visit new cultures and therefore new places. It has nothing to do with maximizing profitability and so on... Slow, qualitative and personal investment... that's the way guys!!!!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Way before CS, I hosted people at home and had been hosted too during trips abroad. For instance, I love traveling while hitchhiking. So I did CS without knowing it ;-) That was before knowing about CS!!!

Before, I wanted to 'see' and 'check' the most possible. ... But nowdays, my way of travelling has changed a bit. Actually, I enjoy so much to spend more qualitative time with the people I meet. And that's what I discovered with CS!!

So now, I am on CS more to meet people than to anyting else. Are you the next one !??! ;-)

Interests

Meet cultures while traveling or even better... while LIVING on the spot.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Difficult to tell... so many amazing experiences with every single person.... everywhere...

Helping in setting up a micro credit system in Mauritius/Rodrigues island.
Hitchhicking for a round trip of Spain
3 months trip in India, Nepal, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore.
Living a few months per year in Cabo Verde and organize non conventional trips for small groups of friends
Kite surfing gives amazing feelings ... and paragliding is suche a great experience to live that it is difficult to explain...

Teach, Learn, Share

To teach, learn and share I believe in TIME & SKILLS SHARING NETWORKS.

I receive from X, I give to Y and Z receives from X.

That's how it should be right!?!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Well... anything... experiences... surprises... but most of all ... very simple talks around a nice drink ! ;-)
