About Me

HI!!!
Apart from the fact I have to change the picture in my profile because, now, I look older...
I'm French but I live no more in France nor in Norway. Until November, I'm in Iceland. I'm traveling for 4 years now and I plan to travel until I die! I have no home, no adress, never coming back to my past life and never knowing what i'll do the next day, owning only my 25 kgs backpack and it's my paradise!
I started by living one whole year in arctic Norway, every night sleeping inside my loved tent, even in winter, even in Svalbard. Then, I spent two years in SE Asia, Thaïland, Cambodia, Laos, Viet Nam and SE India, learning to dive, snorkeling with sharks and sea turtles, meeting at a few meters not at all far away wild elephants and a cobra! At least, the last year, I came back in a cold country by staying in Iceland, also in my tent even in the very windy and snowing winter!! This next winter, I plan to stay in Greenland.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's so important for each of us, for the Humanity to travel! It's the principal way for tolerance, respect and love of other nations and Nature, the World! by traveling, even alone, I 'm never bored, always surprised and happy. Thanks to CS, we can meet people of everywhere, every kind of people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Twice, I organized a little "festival": three free long concerts in three places of the same village, the church, the mill and a field.
There were 250 professionnal musicians, of various musical style, groups and solists and dancers.
They came friendly, freely, to realize our dream, play together, without limits, mixing our styles: A rock band and classical musicians and a russian folkloric singer; baroque choral after metal!
It was a very great experience of openmind, love and art!
Thousands of people came from other villages and cities.

Other incredible adventures: birth of my children and this actual trip -without come back, my new nomad way of life-
