About Me

Crazy peaceful loving human being. I've been travelling for more than a year now. Learned English in England, Scotland and Ireland. Been burned by the sun in Spain. Experienced shamanism and hiking in Peru, love and mindfulness in Australia. Burned by the sun again. Learned yoga in Bali, get in touch with the free diving world there as well. Passionate by cooking. Really into personal development. Teacher by formation, carpenter for hobby. Interest in cinema. Really involve in building stuff, from weird bicycles to weird houses.
Currently back in Australia, planning to go ride a mountain in New zealand, or a sheep... whatever best.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Share good recipes, experience local life, avoid crazy backpackers life. Not that I don't like it, just bored of it for now. And save money for better food ! I'm starting to be a bit short...
