About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm starting my own business to travel using my work opportunities !

ABOUT ME

OK, let's go.

I'm a geek, a fun one I hope. I spent a lot of time working on computers and watching TV Shows, but not as much any more.

I started my own IT company, working for other companies on web application.

I have traveled a bit, but not as much as I would like. But meeting travelers always made me feel like I'm kinda traveling myself. I love meeting new people, from new environments, with new points of view, other perspectives about life. I guess you got it : the more we share, the more we evolve.

Oh and I think I can say I'm kinda crazy, but in a good way ! At least that's what my friends are telling me.

PHILOSOPHY

The more I'm open minded, the more I can enjoy life, people, sharing and learning.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hosted some people at home (sent by CS friends) and loved to kinda travel through them.

I met two of my very good friends, from Canada, because they were couch surfing at some friend's in Rennes (living in Paris though).

I now want to travel and host more than ever.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been hosted too, with friends on CS, like Amsterdam. It was a really good way to really learn how to navigate in this town.

I hosted a girl from Argentina who met a friend of mine at a breakfast... in Amsterdam. She needed a place to stay in Paris, that was it. Really good few days to visit Paris with her... like I never did before myself !

Then continued to host and travel with CS, and I always had wonderful times.

Interests

I'm into friends, php, fun, books, parties, (tv shows), music, politic, ecology,...

And making the world a better place, the best I can, being kind of an activist, and by using what I know : Internet, building websites. And knowing how not to be too intoxicated by TV and mainstream medias.
