About Me

Hi there! French chap in London. I lived in different cities in France but my heart is probably in the north (Rennes & Lille in particular). I travelled quite a bit in Brazil in 2016 where I had an incredible time and chose to relocate in the UK back in 2019. I first started to live in the lovely city of Cambridge then moved to London in December 2020. Now enjoying the London life and back on Couchsuring after a long "pandemic break".

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing has helped me a lot to connect with great people especially in France and in Brazil. Believe it or not, it's also indirectly through Couchsurfing that I found my first job. I had a lot of pleasure being a host a few times and attending to CS meetings were I made good friends.
