I used to work as a programmer in Chambery in the french Alpes, the mountain lover paradise. It was a really good experience, i learned a lot and i met great friends there.
I also like to meet new friends and discover new culture by that way that's on of the reason I love travelling.

There is plenty of things to say about me but I'll share that with you on the right moment =)!

See you soon!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Since travelling, I have met so many interesting, diverse people and have found that everyone has always been so kind and eager to help us. I kinda think that couchsurfing is a continuation of this type of hospitality and that it is an awesome way to discover a new place and feel instantly welcome...even amongst strangers.

I'm actually writing this during my second couchsurfing experience where the host has been so friendly and made us feel at home that it makes me want to continue travelling like this. Its really cool to meet people who you wouldn't normally speak to in day to day life and I think that there is a lot to learn from that.

I'm looking forward to meeting more people through couchsurfing!

As I am currently travelling around Australia in my car and using it as my home, I'm not really in a situation to offer a couch due to the lack of space....that being said, wherever I decide to settle in the next few years, I will make sure that there is a spare couch so that I can welcome people into my home!

Interests

I am getting more and more exiting about travelling the world and i try to be aware of the different society and different culture of the world. I try to keep something from those experiences and avoid to be a passive tourist.

I am also highly interested in all the sliding kind of sport like ski and surf.

I really enjoy cooking for me and my friends.

Music, Movies, and Books

If i had to choose one favourite music i had like to say "Back in Black" of AC/DC.

The book will be "Domino's effect" of Alex Scarrow an ultra realistic post apocalyptic book based on the Petrol penury.

One movie that i really like is "Road to perdition" with Tom Hanks and Directed by Sam Mendez.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I pushed myself to quit my job in order to travel the world and see the temple of Angkor Wat during sunrise, drink a fresh coconut on the most beautiful beach of Thailand, dive into the great barrier reef and see the migration of the splendid whales off the Australian East coast ... one of the best decision of my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: French, English, Computing, manual things.
Learn: I am always in quest of new skills to learn but I would like to learn Spanish at the moment. I would like to start practising cross country ski as well.
