ABOUT ME
I am a naturalist, especially into birds and invertebrate.
I am open-minded, tolerant. I am very aware of the ecological issues and I try to live my life in a way that reduces the impact on the environment.

PHILOSOPHY
Honesty. And try to live as simply as I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far, pretty good. I haven't couchsurfed so much. Neither did I host much. But the few experiences I had were very interesting.

It is a way for traveling in a immersive way. And it can be everlasting. You can go from town to town, city to city, sometimes village to village, and meet locals very easily. It creates opportunities.
And on the other hand, you can have people from all around the world in your living room. How great!

Interests

I like travelling because of all the different cultures. Thus it's interesting to meet new people through couchsurfing. I'm also a lot into art such as litterature (especially poetry), music (I play guitar), paintings and drawings.

My favourite activity is hiking though: I usually choose the country I want to travel in according to nature. It gives a sense of freedom to walk outside and camp when possible.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The endless days in Finland, watching the sun rolling onto the horizon in Lapland.

The green grasslands in Ireland.

In Finland again, we swam in a river in winter by -18°C.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can definitely teach french, if anyone is interested. And I am on my way to be fluent in Spanish but I still need to practice.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I like birdwatching and this is something I could share with people.
I like to compare cultures and languages, and talk about it. For example to me, a good way to share my own background is cooking! Or grasping a drink in a good bar.
