About Me

I just graduated from a biology licence degree and now I have no clue what to do withy life.
I grew up in New Caledonia and when I was 18 I left and moved to France to study.

I think I am funny but that's not up to me to say if I really am or not...

I come from a really small island, from where, if you want to go abroad you have to sell your soul because it's expensive.
So now that I live in France, I try to travel as much as possible !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's easier to get the spirit of the place and discover things that I could have missed by meeting locals

I can stay hours listening to travel stories and people's life 😌

Music, Movies, and Books

Reggae has a special place in my heart. Mostly into trap right now.

Movies, I love horror movies and the ones you have to see many times to get all the details. One of my favorite movie is The Secret Life of Walter Mitty and others but the very moment I have to make a list I forget everything *sigh*

Books :
- Black Water lillies by Michel Bussi
- The pianist by Wladyzlaw Szpilman
- The song of Achilles by Madeleine Miller

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once I slept with a homeless in Italy and few days later I jumped off a moving train in Poland. Climbed the Etna. Galloped through the forest in Bulgarian mountains. Saw a 75 years old mans butt few centimeters away from my face. Not a good memory tho..

Teach, Learn, Share

I play piano since I am 3 y.o so I can help. I've been practicing horseback riding for 15 years too, but the occasions to teach someone to ride a horse are a little lower than the occasion to teach someone to play piano.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I live in a city where when you see a tourist you're like "damn what is he doing here ? I bet he's lost". So if you get lost I still can show nice pubs to help you forget

For people who are hosting me, well I can share stories and legends from where I was born, New Caledonia. Talk about places we have been or just some random shit.

Australia, Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, France, French Polynesia, Germany, Greece, Italy, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro, New Caledonia, Poland, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United States
