Hi !

I'm Mehdy, 25 from Paris, France. I'm a thermal engineer (mostly cryogenics, and for space application). But I also like to have manual works so I worked for 7 years during my student holidays in Disneyland Paris where I learned english and a bit of spanish (work in progress !). I'm also learning photography for myself and by myself. I love foreign songs more than english/french songs and I'm always excited to listen to new songs :)

About my traveler experience !

I started traveling thanks to my ERASMUS semester in Budapest, Hungary and discovered what it is to explore new horizons. Since then, I'm in perpetual need to visit more countries.

2017 is one of my biggest explorer year since it was the first time I went abroad alone for holidays : I did 2 weeks in India where I mostly stood in hostels. But I met someone that told me to try Couchsurfing. I did so and discovered the fun of being hosted by locals !

Now I have also done my first days in Colombia in the house of a wonderful host, and I want to live a similar experience in South Korea in June ! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Gueshouses are nice, but local homes are better. This is the best way to meet local people, have the best recommandations and there is no better way to share cultures and customs.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went in October 2017 in Nepal with two friends. We did the Annapurnas trekk for 15 days. The sightseeings are one of the greatest I ever saw. Everyday was different, from the jungle, the rice fields, the grass, we met rocks, dust, sand, without forgetting snowed peaks thousands meters above us. We reached the altitude of 5415m after one hell of a walk !
