Overview
About Me
🎙If you want a closer look into who I am and why I'm CSing here is an interview I gave recently about the way I travel : https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=e4IzfP-LWaw 😉 (or search for "The Globestopper" on YouTube if you can't copy the link on smartphone).
🏋 I'm a french Personal Trainer, Yoga Teacher & Videographer who lives to travel and meet up people with different cultures.
🛣 That passion led up to quitting my job to travel the world with nearly no money, only counting on people I've barely met to progress around the globe. Producing a web serie so we can prove that compassion & trusting strangers isn't as bad as the TV is trying to make you think.

🏡 Now with the whole covid-thingy I'm back home studying and working again. Which means I can host people the way people hosted me for these past 2 years. 😇
- PHILOSOPHY -
🦁 Hakuna Matata ?
Take every opportunity to live an amazing life and don't wait for the good times, instead : make them happen.
Oh and don't take yourself seriously, life is so much better when you're laughing !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
"In this world, said the old man, the most important person is the one standing before you needing your help ; the most important thing to do is to help him ; and the best moment to do it is now." - The king and the old man tale as told by Confucius.
I love to meet awesome people like yourself (probably if you're still here reading this) ! I love new experiences and people sharing good stories in the process.
It makes life so much more interesting 😉
Interests
Took a bunch of basic interests up there but I'm a guy who loves to have a discussion about everything. Also I'm always open for new experiences !

Music, Movies, and Books
🎵 Music : being a musician, every kind of music makes me happy. Except Trance cause well, boom boom everyday all day long is just boring af !
Also have drums, a guitar and learning piano so if you want to jam and sing along that can be possible !
🎬 Movies : Pretty much everything too, from mind blowing documentaries to Kung Fury's wacky humor. I especially love animation movies and know all Disney's & Miyazaki's off pat.
📚 Books : I read A LOT. I believe books can teach you as much as university if you know what to look for. I tend to read a lot of psychology and personal development books in order to keep learning new things and good novels.
I'm a great fan of audiobooks too.
I also like to exchange books with friends and strangers to be surprised and read something that I wouldn't have picked on my own.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Every day is a new amazing adventure !
Teach, Learn, Share
🎭Teach : I can teach you a few sports, particularly Yoga, Cirque, Calisthenics/Weightlifting, Slackline, Swimming and a few more.
Besides I can teach you photography/photo retouching and filmmaking with the Adobe suite.
And eventually some unusual card and board games or guitar songs to spend some great moments.
💡 Learn : As I'm a very curious person I tend to be interested in everything so I can learn and progress everyday a bit more than yesterday. Every new experience and encounter can teach you much more than you'd think if you are receptive.
🃏 Share : My experiences and funny stories as a traveler.
Also I'm a beer and wine lover (stereotypical French guy I know) so sharing all those around some amber ale will make me (and will probably also make you) even happier !
What I Can Share with Hosts
Mostly a great time with a crazy French guy ! 😉
💸There won't be money involved but you can expect me to help you on whatever is needed from washing dishes/cleaning/cooking (want to discover French meals ?) to help you build something, babysit your children, etc...
My philosophy is really wanting to give back what I get, not taking advantage of it.
You can also obviously expect a place to stay in France when I get back from that tremendous adventure. 😉
