CURRENT MISSION

Travelling the world as much as I can

ABOUT ME

I like to discover new things and new people every day from my country or other parts of the world...
I am (I think) quite open minded and easy going!
I play bass, a little bit drums.
In general,I like nature and enjoy different kinds of activities in nature (mountain biking, hiking, canoeing, etc.)
Well actually I'm passionate about Scandinavian countries but so far, I worked in New Zealand for 1 year and did missions in Argentina, Burkina Faso and Uruguay.
I am now living and working in Japan as a Tour Guide

I like and try to live and eat different : I mean I don't want to own a car, I go faster and happier with my bike. I also try to eat as much local as I can and try to grow or prepare my own products.

I like to both be active when I have to and take the time to have the time as well. Here is my way to keep cool!
I rather prefer the life out of the big and noisy cities even if I work there and even if I like doing bar crawl there! hehe ;)

PHILOSOPHY

- Don't worry, be happy, Just enjoy...
- "Don't knock it 'til you've tried it"

I try to live my dreams instead of dreaming my life!
Here is maybe an "easy" quotation but I really try to smile as much as possible and try to enjoy normal pleasures the life can offer to me.
I can be spontaneous and decide to organise for instance a trip in a minute just for fun and for the pleasure of travelling and saying on my way back : "woohoo I did it!"

I personally think that life is too short to complain when you don't have to.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate in the CS project because I like meeting people from other countries, exchanging culture, try new experiences and open my mind!
I like to both show my region to others and to discover their regions.
Then, thanks to CS and my travelling experiences, I've decided to change some part of my way of life by working now in the tourism industry with the big willing to keep moving!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Not especially amazing but really cool :
Starting brewing my homemade beer for fun with a friend some years ago and finally selling it to a bar...
...That's not for money but it's a huge recognition for our product!

Did a crazy airport-trolley race by night with random and funny american people in the Paris airport!
