About Me

Since my long stay during university in Canada, I found my path travelling and living abroad.
I first went in Paris few years, in international environments and discovered Europe and near East. Then, I did a long trip in Southeast Asia and Australia before to move in Sydney. Back in my hometown Lyon after few life events, I decided to go half a year in South America, travelling only by bus from Argentina to Colombia and doing on my way a volunteering with Gaucho horse riders then a humanitary mission with Quechua and children in Bolivia. From this date, I didn't feel only French-Russian with Aussie-Canadian vibe but Latino too and I knew I had to continue my life in this world, part of this culture, philosophy, energy ;) !

I arrived in Spain in August 2018 thanks to a friend after sailing on a 6 persons boat from Marseille to Malaga - a true great adventure !
I now settled down in great Barcelona, Catalunya, and continue to integrate me among locals :) !

I'm easy-going, open-minded, relax, cool, cheerful, fun ...and tidy, don't worry !

My motto : carpe diem, be free.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I never wanted just to travel or to be a tourist. I want to meet locals, to learn from each other, to share ideas/time, to discover new cultures and local life. That's the Couchsurfing' philosophy and that's why I did flatshares in Montreal, Paris, Sydney and now Barcelona.

I've been also strongly part of the couchsurfing community in Lyon.
I helped people as much as possible, guiding them through my city, animating board games nights, even organizing a camping / discovery trip with 14 couchsurfers until Montpellier !

Then, count me in to now host ;)
