ABOUT ME

I'm a curious french guy who likes adventures, aspiring to a simple and humble life. I'm a bit shy at first sight but I love to talk and meet new people. I'm calm, peaceful and fully active.
I'm a sport educator specialized in handicap, currently working with children/teenagers with autism.

PHILOSOPHY

I don't really like the way our society is going, but I rather make fun of it and do something about it than cry.
I hate superficiality and selfishness and have no interests in mainstream culture and fashion.
I'm neither proud or ashame to be french, I just consider myself as a human being in a too divided world. If you have anything to say, good or bad, about France and french people, I can hear it and will probably agree :)
I dislike the term "norm" which doesn't mean anything for me. Everybody should be able to live their life the way they want without being judged or restricted.
I've joined different NGO about social justice and climate change, taking part in non-violent actions and civil disobedience.

PS: I'VE ALREADY PAID 2 TIMES, YEARS AGO, TO GET VERIFIED "FOR LIFE" ON COUCHSURFING, SO THAT'LL BE ENOUGH, THANKS.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I discover couchsurfing in Finland with my friends and I loved it.
That's the way I want to visit a country, make contacts with the locals, share experiences, discover the real face of the country and the real people.
I like to feel how it is to be an inhabitant of the country I'm visiting and that I'm not at home anymore.
I'm used to move a lot during my trips and I don't like to stay more than 2 or 3 days in the same place.
Sadly, my very small flat in Paris doesn't allow me to host anybody, but I will as soon as I get a bigger one!

Interests

I love concerts and festivals, music is my passion even though I don't play any instruments.
I'm also a very sportive guy. I practice artistic gymnastic and climbing (bouldering mostly). Also swimming, skating, hiking, kayaking and anything challenging!
Of course I like to take it easy sometimes and enjoy a good beer while talking about music, shitty movies and travelling :)
