About Me

Hi there ! This description was updated the April 4th 2016.

ABOUT ME

I travelled in Spain with a friend, in our little truck. We jump from festival to other festival and met a lot of fantastic people. One of them, told us about Couchsurfing. And there it is : I'm in the place.

It was a long long time ago and I never leave Couchsurfing. Not that Couchsurfing was really a successful tool for my trips (may be my mistakes by the way). But it's like king of me : the idea of people over the world helping each other one, no matter the language, the country or the difference gap. It's me ! And for this, and for meet new people living humanity as it, I'm a Couchsurfer for sure.

I'm not always in travel... In fact I'm more often at home than in the road. I've a work and just my 5 French weeks holidays by year. What's my job ?

CURRENT MISSION

I work for a company which build websites. I'm the man in the shadow : I write code lines you normaly will never see (or I didn't do my job correctly). It's not a so much "roots" job as I dreamt some years ago but it's have some benefits : the first is that IT is internationalisable and I know for sure, in near future, I will take this opportunities to see how that works in other countries. I dream about Australia or may be New Zealand since a long time. May be... Will see.

This job, was what I want to do since my 16 or 17. So I success and this job continue to be happiness to me. But with the time, I've kind of building me with some opinions, some guide lines which rules my daily life, but nok really my job for now. Let me explain you my style of life...

PHILOSOPHY

At the begining, I was playing with some blogs just for explain my vision of French politic. And some years after, in 2010, I went in my first reunion of a great association : Greenpeace. I fall in love of the this and that was the beggining of an activist life based : give a sense to what you do, think, fight against that but also for this because it's better for everyone,...

I never give up since. But some activist, wanting to be more activist than necessary, become kind of boring or worst. I try to find a good balance. Anyone can be activist as I'm, but I expect than anyone as good guy even so :)

Yes, I'm activist, a little traveler, human lover... But I'm more than that, and I'm sure we have some point of interest in common. No ?

POINT OF INTERESTS

Despite some years to make acrobatic figure in skate park, I don't practice anymore but continue to love Roller In Line and specially Roller Hockey. Just for fun, no competition. But what a fun ! :)

I like to play guitar. I'm not really good at it, I don't practice enough, but I like it.

I like to take picture. I've got a 1100D and I try to practice but I'm just a beginner for now.

I like play to chess, since 20 years (thanks dad). It would be a pleasure to make a game with you. Anywhere you want ;)

I like discuss about nothing or everything, just walk in the park just near or may be in mountains a little bit more far. When it's season, the french mountains open its sky stations for my big pleasure (I'm not bad with sky, but learning snowboard).

I love meet new people, make new friends. And, obviously, see again and again olds firends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Pour l'instant je viens juste d'arriver et tâte le terrain de la communauté. Je suis prêt à héberger les gens qui cherchent un toit. J'en serai même honorer.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Via CouchSurfing, aucune. Mais lors de mon précédent voyage en Irlande, j'ai rencontré un groupe de potes qui faisaient du CouchSurfing. J'ai donc été invité chez eux. Merci à eux !

Interests

- L'informatique, et plus spécifiquement le développement informatique. C'est une passion, et même mon métier.
- Le jonglage : bolas, bâton du diable, massue, balles
- La nature et l'écologie, c'est une lutte au quotidien et combat que je porte dans mon coeur
- La politique, parce que c'est ce qui régit nos vies et tant qu'on s'y intéressera pas un petit peu on l'aura dans le baba.
