I'm a 30 year old Frenchy traveling where my feet take me :)
I quit my job, my apartment, and my city (Paris) in 2014 to do what I love the most : Travel either alone or with friend(s).
With my friend Joseph, we trek from mountain chains to mountain chains and love meeting people and share experiences !
When alone I still have friends to travel with ... that might be you :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Before being on couchsurfing, I use to ask people I met if I could sleep at their places when they didn't invite me first :D I figured a little help from a network wouldn't do me no harm ;)
On the other hand, as soon as I will have a home I will be able to host travelers !

Interests

- Trekking ( winter trekking especially ! Check out my pics )
- Martial arts ( Mainly Taekwondo and Hapkido)
- Photography (My Canon 5D mark II is like my girlfriend ;) )
- Cooking: Yummy !
- Nature
... what else could be more essential ?
- Cultures, religions and their history, Geopolitics, ...

Music, Movies, and Books

Music :
Everything but Hard Tech, Death metal core, and radio soup !
Besides that, I love music both for lyrics and the musical aspect. Also dancing on it by the way. I play Djembe (African drum) and Jaws harp !

Movies :
Korean cinema is probably my favorite.
I also like Japanese, Spanish and French cinema !
Hollywood also works but I am more picky ;)

Books : Anything that talks about Asian philosophy, history of religions, History, and biographies of world travelers (André Brugiroux, Sylvain Tesson). Not really a novel fan, except the MUST read French and Russian classics.
Books I never buy or read : lonely planet, guide du routard and others handy touriatic books... It kills all the fun of discovery and struggle :D

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Swim with dolphins in Hawaii !
- Slept outside by -20℃
- Slept inside the Moldovan border patrol office :)
- Walked over a 1000 km in the past years and much much much more by hithiking.
- and most important, left everything behind to see what the unknown had and has to offer !
