About Me

Well, that's such a difficult task trying to resume in few words what makes years to be built. First I would say, as most people on this website, I'm open minded, ready for fun, experiences, discovering, I'm a trustful and careful person. I want to get in touch with new people. I like that. Even more than just visiting a country. For me, it doesn't make sense to just be hosted or host people without any interaction on our culture, way of thinking, ideas. :)
I've read many CS profiles and some have really touched me by the truthfulness these CS bring out (Susan Abeles, Rodney Ross and many more). It is so pleasant to read them and feel the same way. I realise how big is the world, how different are our cultures, how beautiful are our différences and finally how unique is our powerful desire to build this CS community, trust people and make friends all around the world.

>I'm always excited about new experiences... Bring your culture, I'll share mine.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to host people, to give them the best tips ever in my adoption country, Switzerland. I would also enjoy having a drink wherever you want (Geneva, Morges, Lausanne, Vevey...)! I have a car, I can also give you a ride to visit further the country.

I travelled in Porto with 4 friends and we have been hosted in the flat of a very friendly couchsurfer.
I also visited Istanbul with a very nice turkish guy.
I hosted one guy from Spain, another from Lyon (France) and two awesome guys from US (+ an italian girl).
I spent 4 months in Sweden and meet sweet people, particularly when I travelled in Copenhagen and Oslo. Was unforgettable!
Strasbourg has been an amazing place to run.
Recently, 2 Austrian guys came to visit my place, we've had a really nice time together. Now, I'd like to visit Canada, Germany and Italy... And the whole eastern part of Europe!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There is no particular time, that's all my travelling life! ^^

Teach, Learn, Share

It's ALWAYS a pleasure to teach some words of french, I would like that everybody speaks french as well as english (it's not chauvinism, it's love of french ;)
Of course, I like so much learning foreign languages ! Swedish, German, Italian...

I can also give some recipes of french food... like the famous "crêpes" (french pancakes) :D
