About Me

Hi ! I am French, from Monaco, used to work in a bank and left everything to do a trip around our beautiful planet for 1 year. Since then I always keep moving.

I visited almost all south America (Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina), and then China, Japan, and Canada.

I speak 3 languages fluently, French, English and Spanish. I understand Italian perfectly and I am speaking & learning Japanese.

I am a non smoker, but of course it's okay if you host me and you smoke :)
And also ok to host smoker as long as they can smoke outside.

My three favourite things are traveling, meeting new people, and having good times :) In one word : being happy ! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on couchsurfing because it's a wonderful opportunity to meet people from different backgrounds and horizons. I also love meeting locals when i am traveling, as they often deliver an incredible experience of their country. And more than landscape, the people I meet along the way are the things that remind in my head and in my heart.

Interests

Love sports, but it's been a long time since I didn't practice !

I do youtube videos about my trips, and I'll maybe start a travel blog soon.

I love meeting new people, eating local food, and doing a lot of activites ! I also like spending time with friends, surfing, snowboarding, fishing, beautiful sunsets, playing piano and guitar (self-taught), and of course travelling.

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't really have a particular kind of music i love more than any other, I can listen to all kind of music. I like famous artist and less famous artists as well. An example of artists I like : Coldplay, Eminem, Andrew Apple pie, DJ Quads. Learning a bit about Japanese music these days :)

I like many kind of movies. Among my preferred are action movies, thrillers, but not only. For me, any movie can be good as long as the story is good. I also like to create small movies by myself on YouTube :)

Books : I don't read a lot these days (I wish to read more in the future. Authors I like : Stephen King, Amin Maalouf, Beaudelaire, Hemingway.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Diving surrounded by a douzen of sharks in Galapagos, Ecuador, and swimming with penguins at the same place.

Biking for many hours, then going to the top of a mountain seeing an active volcano rumbling and spittin black smoke at sunset, then going back down the mountain for hours with my bike without any light ! (Scary time !) Survived it, and ended the day with thermal waters in Baños, Ecuador.

Having one of the craziest day of my life alone on the great wall of China

Teach, Learn, Share

I would be pleased to teach French, English, Spanish, a bit of Japanese, and any thing you want to know about Monaco :)

I can also teach how to play Coldplay - the scientist on a piano, discuss about French culture, and share everything you want to know about my travels around the world :)

Always happy, smiling and easy going :)
