Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I love meeting new people, especially foreigners, to try to understand better new cultures, to learn what make us different, and how it enriches each of us. I love confronting to new points of view, to reconsider what I used to take for granted and open new perspectives of seeing the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I'm fascinated about flying, in every way, since I'm little. I have my paramotor (kind of paragliding with a motor cause there are no mountains where I live!) and light aircraft licence.
Also an Atlantic crossing, from France to Martinique, one a sailboat with 38 people during one month and a half.
