About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn and teach. Inspire and be inspired.

ABOUT ME

I am a software engineer born and raised in nothern France.

As most people here I enjoy traveling. I love discovering new places but to be the best part has always been meeting new people.

I'm very open-minded and try to never judge. We may have diverging opinions we can still learn from each other.

I'm not taking myself too seriously and will tell silly jokes most of the times but we can still have serious conversations for hours about anything.

As a guest I'm not looking for comfort, I could stay at an hotel otherwise. Even a yoga mat on the floor is fine for me.

If there's anything you would like to know about me, feel free to ask :)

PHILOSOPHY

It's all about the journey not the destination.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined CS years ago because I loved the idea that hosting people could be about something else than money. A simple selfless act of kindness driven by the desire to share stories, experiences an culture.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Everyone is welcome on my couch at almost any time. I'll also be happy to make people visit my hometown and even further. I would be very happy to meet people even if they're not staying at my place.

[NOT ABLE TO HOST AT THE MOMENT]

Some changes in my life made it harder for me to accept guests for a while. I have a few things to sort out and I'll be happy to open my door to travelers again :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been meeting some couch surfers during my various trips. I've never been surfing a couch but I hosted many people. These have been amazing experiences.

I have not been able to travel for a while but I'm back on the road and will make my first experiences as a guest.

Music, Movies, and Books

So many ... I'm open to everything as long as it makes me feel something.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The last thing I'm thinking of, is a one month tour I did in the USA with my former band, traveling for weeks across the country in a car to play in clubs everywhere.
I saw so many amazing places during this month, from the top of the Empire State Building to the clubs in Hollywood ... That was an amazing experience.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I always have something to do and can be on my own. But if you've got some spare time I'll be more than happy to talk, let you show me your city or do anything you enjoy.
