Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To enjoy every little moment of life. To be amazed by the sound of birds singing in the morning, a new place I discovered, old abandoned buildings, the smile of a stranger. Riding my bicycle. To be freezing coming back home and drink a hot tea. To watch the sun setting on the sea or over the mountains, and wake up early to see the sunrise.
ABOUT ME
I try to combine my thirst for traveling and being in the Nature with my medical studies as much as I can. Last year I took a gap year and I spent 6 months traveling around New Zealand hitchhiking, doing help exchange, camping, hiking a lot and meeting truly beautiful people.
PHILOSOPHY
"Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die today." James Dean
Here, now.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
For the moment, I mostly use couchsurfing when I'm travelling.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I discovered CS thanks to a friend. I surfed for the first time with her in Spain (Barcelona), and it was a good experience. Since then, I try to use this way of travelling as much as posible. I couchsurfed in Budapest, during my hitchhiking trip with friends through central Europe in June '13 (we did about 5000km, hitchhiking through France, Germany, Czech Republic, Hungary, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia and Italy), in New Zealand.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
In New Zealand, I did a 5 days trek alone, and I haven't seen anybody during 4 days.
I saw a wild wolf in the wood, a day I woke up early to see the sunrise in the Jura mountains.
Teach, Learn, Share
I'd love to learn how to play violin or cello. Learn more about yoga/acroyoga. How to cook well, how to take good photos... And much more !
I can share my travel and life experiences, my smile, my good mood :)
