About Me

CURRENT MISSION

As a big traveller myself, I always have been opened to meet new people !

ABOUT ME

At 18 I left home and moved to the southwest of France to study Political Science. I also started travelling a lot, I went to study one year in Norway. After graduation, I moved to South Africa and after 2 1/2 years of internships and first professional experiences, I have been traveling in Southern and Eastern Africa for six months in a 4x4 equiped with a roof top tent. Then, I moved to South America to work in the tourism sector in Cusco, Peru, Bolivia, and now Colombia. I also run a fundation in which I organise basket ball camps with professional basket ball players in Senegal and Peru. Well, I love travelling and meeting new people, I can't get enough ... I like going out, danse and practise sports, going on trekking and play "into the wild" in the nature ....

PHILOSOPHY

I do all my best to live my life the best I can, in order to never have any regrets... I hate seeing that time is going so fast...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I first thought couchsurfing was a nice excuse for penniless backpackers to sleep over someone's house. During my recent trip in Colombia while I was visiting my best friend Claire, I discover that she was receiving people interested in human exchange and eager to share something. I did like it and I will now try it in my house !!

I love South African music, especially the band Freshlyground, Johnny Clegg, Myriam Makeba... and French music as well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seen: everywhere I go I see amazing things...
Done: recently the ascent of Pequeno Alpamayo in Bolivia, the most difficult physical challenge I ever made.
