Hello Everyone,

My name is Cyril Mercat, I'm a 22 years old student (Mechanical Engineering) living in Annecy and working once every two weeks (apprenticeship program) in a company that develops bike sharing solutions,in Lyon, France. I'm currently in my fourth year at university.

I'm an amateur video maker and photographer. I grew up in a traveller family, always biking around and discovering new things. When I was a kid, we left home for one year and traveled the world with my parents, my two siblings and our bikes.
Lately, my brother and I have been riding street and flatland unicycling at good level which led us to meet really awesome people from all around the world and to travel through Europe every summers.

On a more personal note, I'm a slightly extroverted guy with many interests ranging from reading about ecology, politics to learning old French poems !

I'd be keen to host any of you on our coach.

See you soon Hopefully !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love travelling, I love discovering new people and new things and believe coach-surfing is probably the best way to do so.

I can only offer people to sleep on the coach but it is really comfy !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelling a year with my family

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to ride a unicycle, i can help you with maths and physics and how to use the manual mode on your camera ;)

We can also share talks about ecology, politics and social subjects !

I'm really looking up for learning new languages and meeting new people

What I Can Share with Hosts

We can go hiking, swimming, skiing, going to ride the unicycle, shooting photos and discovering Annecy together.

I would be keen to share meals, stories and good moments with every one of you !
