About Me

CURRENT MISSION

traveling, breathing, opening my mind

ABOUT ME

I'm a french guy from south of France.
I moved to London 7 years ago to work as a developer, party and meet people from all over the world.
I'm bored of working in an office and want to travel for a while and try to be more useful.
I left in July 2014 to Cambodia to work 1 month in an NGO and then to travel for 3 months in South east Asia.
Finally after 4 months there I decided it was not yet time to come back to my previous life and kept it going traveling for 1 year or more.
After 8 months in Asia, I went to California, bought an old Jeep and did a 3 months road trip on the west coast and discovered many of their amazing national parks.
I'm now back in France chilling for the summer with family and friends. I bought a motorbike and plan travel a bit in my country in August: drive all the way up to Brest then Rennes and Paris before going back to London for a while.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm still looking forward to find out what I want to do with my life. I believe I need to travel to get out of my confort zone, see different people, different cultures, different way of life, learn new things, give what I can...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

For the moment, I hope to meet people during my travel, locals or people living in the city for a while to get a bit introduced in the life of the city and not only be a tourist.
If possible and if I get invited, I'd like also to get accomodation.

few as a host in South east Asia. Every time I stayed 3 to 5 days, incredible people, amazing experiences!
Plenty surfing in the west coast of the States, always awesome!
