Overview
About Me
Hi all!
I am 26 years old and I grew up and lived in France.
I work as a digital designer in a company that edits mobile apps for DJs, musicians, and creators in general. ✌️
Two years ago (oh my god, already!), I was taking a year off to travel to the countries I dreamed of as a kid (Nepal, Scotland, Iceland...) and Covid called me back to France at the first step in Finland.
So here I am again to take my revenge and to finish this trip myself! 😎
On a more personal note, my friends describe me as someone who is always smiling, caring and enthusiastic.
Concretely I love discovering new things, whether it is through art, visiting a city or the stories of the person in front of me.
I'm a bit (ok, very) curious and I love to know more about my environment so don't be surprised if I ask you a lot of questions haha.
So far, meeting inspiring people abroad has always pushed me to become an even better person myself and I hope to continue on this path!
🌈 Oh, and to avoid this being a problem, I'm gay
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I think that Couchsurfing is the best opportunity to meet other open-minded travellers. This is a great way of experiencing the places I go in a unique way.
I much prefer to experience a city or a country through the eyes and stories of those who live there. The journey thus takes on a whole new dimension, more human and less "touristic".
For me Couchsurfing is meeting incredible humans that I will remember with a smile in several years as my best travel memories.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
It's hard to name just one...
👉 Wild camping in the Highlands of Scotland where I woke up surrounded by deer.
👉 Trek on the Annapurnas circuit in Nepal where I climbed up to Tilicho Lake in the middle of a snowstorm and to Thorung La Pass at 5400 meters above sea level.
👉 Climbed a mountain at night in Bodø, Norway, to see the Northern Lights (which, by the way, appeared the second I got to the top...).
What I Can Share with Hosts
My laughter (noisy and recurring, sorry...), a vegetarien dinner prepared with love, a glass of wine, passionate and exciting exchanges on our respective cultures, travel stories... or all at once!
