About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Work hard, dream well, travel far

ABOUT ME

My greatest wish would be to live in every big cities of this planet for at least a year! My passion is cities and their citizens! I'm so curious about people, their culture, their langage and the political relationships that I could define myself as an urban-enthousiastic. That's probably why i ended up doing a master degree in urban planning recently!

PHILOSOPHY

you're the artist of every single day of your life. Curiosity brings you everywhere.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I arrived in january 2008 in Buenos Aires for an abroad student program and after two days, I joined a CS crew that were exploring the neighborhood of Palermo. I get to know a lot of people from that day until the end. So much extraordinary people on this planet! This community also helped me to find a flat in BsAs. CS definitely help the world to be better! I surfed in Santiago, Chile the illegal couch of Carlos Montal? ;) And Cecilia s couch in Resistencia, Argentina, such a nice girl.

I did an urban planning field study in Îles-de-la-Madeleine, Quebec during the month of september 2011.I surfed at Gerard and Sylvie's place, which I called home instantly! I surfed also Emmanuelle's place where I met new friends and ate the best pastas of the trip!

One of my favorite song is Couch Surfer from BranVan3000:
« Together with everything and nothing between us,
You are the whole soul goal me you,
Universal universal union,
Blending in matter,
Journeying harmony, journeying harmony.»
