About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Living the most unlikely life possible

ABOUT ME

I live with 2 roommates in the very center of Rennes, France (it's hard to find a better spot in town, since we have really everything just around us) in a 75m² flat with a very big living-room, so it's easy for us to host guests. I take care of children, Simon studies something about numbers and Marc plays the guitar. We lay in couches and fly together to the sweet sounds of Pink Floyd when we got the time. Or we watch documentaries. We like documentaries.

This is what i wrote some years ago. I have changed since :

We like to drink. A lot. We also respect the 4:20 time whenever we can. We go out on parties, we host parties, or we stay at home playing silly games, listening to music or watching movies while drinking cheap alcohol and smoking a lot. If you wanna stay over, it would be good if you would appreciate that too. However we obviously want to learn about your trip, where you come from, your experiences, and anything unusual that you could teach us.

PLUS : We have a trampoline. Deal with it.

NOW, i have had intense experiences that i have changed my perception of live and redefined my priorities (and the trampoline is broken. That`s a shame). I still like to party and do unlikely things but i don't drink so much and i've completely stopped smoking (though i don't mind at all people doing both things). I am very open-minded, and looking for the great answers anyway i can. I am trying to find my inner self and, though it's an incredibly long journey, it feels so right and rewarding to finally be on the way.

We also do silly stuff all the time, like freefight basketball and remote-controlled helicopter rodeos.

PHILOSOPHY

Do everything. Be here now. Her right in the.

To quote one funky gentleman (Bouddha) : "This will also change".

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to travel a lot, so it's nice to find some places to crash if i need to. On the other side, i host when i can, and i'll be more than glad to hear experiences of others from everywhere. My friends and i are planning a several-years road trip around the world in a few years, and we want to know every tip, every advice on where to go, what to do... So your help is welcome.

We also did 6 months in Asia last year and planning to go again 6 months in south america next year, you can help on that too.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been hosted several times, i have done a lot of hitchhiking accross europe... I have also traveled accrossed India for six months using a lot of couchsurfing, which was very challenging and fun.

And we've hosted french, spanish, mexican, italian, japanese and german people from this website. Everytime an awesome experience, i can't wait to host some more.

Interests

Music, cinema, reading (like everyone). I play badminton, i love inventing games of all kind, meeting interesting people, bathing naked in foutains at night.

People willing to discuss about meditation, yoga, ayurveda, spirituality and related stuff are most welcome.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Fight with a tiger and survive.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach french, of course. French food. French dance. Any dance. Tips for traveling in India, as i know quite a few now. Madagascar too, why not. Hitchhiking advices. Computer skills. Advices on movies (old and unknown ones), i`ve watched my share. Books too, i read a lot. Yoga and meditation for beginners. Super smash bros melee, badminton. I can teach you how to train your cat (yes, cat) to bring back the ball (thank my roommate for that discovery). I don`t know what else.

And i literally want to learn anything i don`t already know ! Like, litterally. I just love when people explain me things.
