About Me

ABOUT ME

Always hard to talk about self...

I live in London for more than a year.

I used to live in Geneva for about 13 years where I met great couchsurfers.

I am French which might say a lot about me already.

I like going out once in a while.

I also like to travel which shouldn't be surprising here.

Otherwise, when I am between two trips around the world, I spend most of my time doing IT stuff for a big company in Canary wharf.

Voila. That's it for now.

The rest, you will have to figure it out if we eventually meet. Someday. Somehow.

PHILOSOPHY

If something happens, it's because it has to happen.
If something doesn't happen, well... it wasn't meant to be, so why bother!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I usually open my door with a big smile.

I try to organize or attend as many CS meeting as I can. This community gathers so many incredible, open minded and positive people, that it's hard to miss a good opportunity to meet them!

But there's a little drawback in attending so many meetings: my mobile phone is almost full of contacts who's name start with CS. Don't know why!!! How unfortunate is that?

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been traveling here and there form Jan 07 to Feb 08. I stayed in lots of different places with lots of different people. I couch surfed in Thailand, China, Australia, though I knew my hosts already. Does it still count?

Now, I am back in Geneva's area and ready to host.

To be done: a list of my meetings/hosts/guests (it's gonna take me while, be patient)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been traveling in Asia and South pacific during 13 amazing months. It would be too long to list everything here. But one thing I've done that was incredibly inspiring, was hiking on the Great Wall of China during 3 hours without seeing a single soul. You have time to think about yourself, the world and take a few hundred photos!!!

Teach, Learn, Share

Language: I can teach you all the 'bad' French you want (I am very good at it).

Travel: If you plan to go in some of the countries I visited, I'll be more than happy to share my modest experience with you. And also I will be pleased to listen to your own experiences.
