CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

First time you see me, I am generally a little bit shy and no too talkative... But once I know the person, I love talking with and sharing many things.
I am a sort of mix between crazy and serious, depending on the moment and the situation.
Sometimes lazy, but generally I am rather dynamic and energetic.
I try my best to be as open-minded as I could by learning as much as I can.

PHILOSOPHY

Keep your inner child alive, marvel at everything, smile to the others and try to not judge people on what they look like, what they have said, what they have done.
And be inspired and make your dreams come true :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Generally I am not really interested in major touristic places, so I think it is more fulfilling to meet locals to learn about the culture and discover the hidden places of a town.

I also would be pleased to offer a place to stay in my home and I would be happy to show you some part of my hometown even if I am sure to be a good guide ;)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I did my first couchsurfing experience in June 2011 in London and it was simply amazing ! At first it was just for 2-3 days and finally I subleted the room of one of my host and stayed 6 weeks. More than it help me to improve my english, it brang me a lot of things at a personal point of view. I met a lot of people there and I have many good memories of this period.

Interests

I love learning. Learning everything (especially languages and foreign cultures) and I am always looking for living new and fullfilling experiences... this is the reasons why I love travelling.
I think we can learn from everyone, from every situations.

I also love creating things with my hands. From fixing something with a clipper and a pine cone to making an umbrella for fun, I love knocking up some stuffs. I like drawing too, but I am really bad since I am not praticing seriously !

I'm also interested in everything related to the nature and the out-door activities like cycling, hiking, fishing, growing plants, taking care of farm and domestic animals, bushcarfting etc...

I am interested in many kind and form of art, and in all persons who love creative things.
I like listening music as everybody does (even if I'm mostly into trip-hop/electro songs, I am open to all sort of music).

I like talking, sharing, laughing, meeting people and having a beer from time to time.
I am interested in many things and I always try my best to open my mind to new horizons.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My travel in Japan.
I wanted to discover Japan for years, but not the way most of the people does. I wanted to learn about Japan, see its countryside, its hidden gems and meet its people.
So I took my bicycle and my camping equipment and I took a flight for Osaka.
It has been 73 days of adventure, 3200 km of complete liberty across 19 prefectures and 11 islands, along 4 seas and one ocean, sleeping where the nature offered me a place to stay.
I met many people, I discovered many aspect of the japanese culture, I practiced my japanese and I learnt many things about myself as well.
Just the best thing I ever did.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help you to learn french, even if I am not sure to be a good teacher !
If I can share my knowledges with someone, from a cooking recipe to my passion for art and makeshift, I would be happy.
And I would like to learn languages (especially Russian and improve my English) and different cultures and ways of life.
