About Me

I just finished a year and a half of travelling around the world where amongst other things I did a 3 months trip all over India on a rickshaw, some 2 months snowboarding in Italy and a roadtrip from France to Mongolia and back.

I started my trip going around Australia visiting the South and East coasts, where it is less touristy but so much more beautiful.

In India, I rode from Shillong, in the North-East to Cochin, in the South West and then up to Rajasthan (North-West). It seemed stupid, slow and absolutely not efficient. Let's be honest, it has been an awesome idea ! I almost died a few times, saw amazing places and meet really cool people, couchsurfing hosts, backpackers, locals, and random people all over the place.

After went around Europe, visiting friends and just chilling up until July, where I did the Mongol Rally, a month and a half roadtrip with my brother from London to Ulan-Ude in Russia. We met a lot of cool people doing the same, locals showing us their amazing countries and breathtaking landscapes. We went to Turkey, Iran, most of the Stans then Russian and Mongolia to finish in Ulan-Ude, near Lake Baykal, few days up north from Ulaanbaator, the Mongolian capital. There my brother flew home to go back to work and I drove back to visit the baltic states, sweden and agaon catch up with some friends.

Once I got back to France, I dropped the car and flew to Canada where I want to spend a year or two, taking it a bit more slowly and enjoy living in the country again, ten years after my first stay here.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A friend who is using it a lot pushed me to sign in, so I gave it a go...

It has been quite a blast so far and my 2-3 days stays have been extended quite a lot and I even came back to visit my hosts. Really the biggest and coolest thing I discovered in 2016 !!!

Interests

Traveling (I know, big suprise here), meeting new people, trying new food and visiting different places. Also snowboarding, rollerblading and listening to hardstyle :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveling through India with a rickshaw is probably the most amazing thing I have done lately !

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn but as it seems fair to give back I am always happy to teach what I can.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Nice long chats about the travel life and experiences that comes with it. I can teach french if you're interested in learning. I do have a good balance of going out and chiling so which ever ypu feel like doing will always be good for me ☺
