Hi everyone, I'm 24, student in herbalism, fond of snow, crazy about photography, medieval reenactment (Viking!) and nature. I love hiking, ski-touring, picking & eating wild plants.

I've decided that every aspect in my life should be an adventure. Even riding my bike to go working should sound epic. So I make everything possible to live at 100% my life, following my instinct, taking sudden decisions and risks. Each short hike becomes so a whole journey (!)

I especially enjoy wandering through the mountains where I live - French Alps. I love to quit everything to reach wild and forgotten places, by feet, ski, sometimes in medieval outfit - it really feels like you're kicked out of everything including Time...!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When travelling, I'm never looking at hostels or so. It's so impersonnal! I'm more into meeting new people and sharing our experiences : best way to enjoy a whole new place with another lifestyle.
I traveled a lot during my youth in this way with my family and now I bear those values of sharing & deciding / living my trips, turning them into journeys.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm mostly interested in metal (blaaaaackeeuuarrgh) & folk, but I'm totally open-minded to many things, from classical/opera to electronic music.
About books, I've fond of different styles : Tolkien's LOTR universe, Alain Damasio (sci/fi), or more "wilderness/travel" authors : Sylvain Tesson, Arto Paasilinna, Jack London, Kerouac...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I don't know, I've done SO many "stupid" things. And each time it was the best idea ever! Like leaving for Russia without any clue of how to speak Russian, or going for a hike in the snow and fog (everything was white) to sleep alone in a cabin by -10°C. Last one was leaving suddenly everything for a Scandinavian railtrip that leaded me until Bergen, in my Viking gear.
.... And hell yeah I would do it again - for sure I'll do.
