ABOUT ME

French/ Dutch blooded dude. A deep love for travels and learning new skills and knowledge. I believe in taking things slow, enjoying tiny moments as much as more meaningful ones. Oh god and I love beer. Making friends while talking travel stories around a good IPA would be the perfect plan to me. Simple, optimistic, grateful. I'm learning writing, photography and filmmaking as a way to document my travels.

PHILOSOPHY

Just go and see what happens...?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love to share memories and travel stories, if the road takes you to Paris do not hesitate to get in touch with me eather to share a drink, have me walk you around town, or if you need a friendly host.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I experienced couchsurfing for the first time on a journey to India and God knows how much of a good idea that was! My travel was socially improved thanks to all the wonderful people I met during that trip. Now I just want to try it again and again!

Interests

I love to travel. Obviously? Take my time, feel the places I cross. Meet people and significantly connect with them, share good times, learnings and jokes. I enjoy backpacking as it forces you to travel with only the bare necessities and if your bag is light then so is your spirit!

I am also very interested in movies and the art of capturing pictures in them. I have been working in the film industry for several years now and I enjoy discussing about them, how they bring emotions in our hearts and how some of them can be life-changing while others of course are just good entertainment.

I enjoy sports, not crazy, just enough to remain healthy and generally I try to include different types of physical activities on my journeys (hiking, diving, paragliding, running, canoeing...)

Oh and I believe music really is essential to one's life, like movies music can change your soul and emotions. I listen to music everyday. I used to play the Piano for several years but lost most of it, not desperate about getting back to it one day, until then I just love to discover new bands and sounds, and share my discoveries.
