About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Discover and have fun!

ABOUT ME

I come from the French Alps, which is a really good spot for skiing but unfortunately not the best one if you wanna meet a lot of people. Travelling naturally seemed the right way to compensate this and my dream is to go all around the world in order to meet new persons with a different way of life.
I am a very active person, who likes having fun and taking up new challenges. Of course, I prefer to share those moments with someone!

PHILOSOPHY

Have as much fun as you can because you never know what could happen to you!
You can get something positive out of any experience, even the worst ones.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

If you are planning on visiting the South-West of France, come to Pau, I will be glad to host you and show you around as much as I can!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I think it started with hosting friends, and friends of friends, and then people who just come and call you because one of the persons you hosted before told them to call me. It also works on the other way, like a private CS!

Interests

My main interest is travelling. My dream is indeed to go around the globe twice: once by bike and once by boat.
I do also a lot of sports, mainly skiing, snowboarding, surfing, sailing and I wanna try kiteboarding, paragliding and skydiving.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all sorts of music (rock, electro, reggae, hip-hop, soul, jazz, stringbands...)and good movies like Tarantino and Guy Richies's films, Gladiator, Star Wars, Gran Torino, No country for old men, The big Lebowski... (But Pulp Fiction is the best!)
I don't always have or take time to read books, but once I start a new one, I can't think about anything else but finishing it. Especially if it's a travel or adventure book.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

the most amazing thing I have done, which is also the scarriest, was walking along a crater ridge and avoiding the volcanic bombs falling around. True story.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn about cultures that I don't know, I think it is one of the biggest treasures on Earth together with wildlife. I try to do my part too, and to teach people as much as I know on subjects that they are interested in.

Countries I’ve Visited

Canada, Croatia, Czech Republic, Italy, Mauritius, Mayotte, Mexico, Montenegro, Morocco, Netherlands, Norway, Réunion, South Africa, Spain, Swaziland, Sweden, Switzerland, Tunisia, United Kingdom, Vanuatu
