CURRENT MISSION

Exploring Happiness

ABOUT ME

I'm a nomad and French country boy exploring the world since 2012.

I'm a Burning Man Survivor and Social Backpacker.

I'm fascinated by the theory of Four Degrees of Separation when I'm traveling: "Really do you know him?"

I lived a couple of years in Mexico, Montreal, NYC, Sydney and Bogota. Meeting new people around the world is definitely one of the biggest reasons I'm traveling and surfing.

I work as Creative Planner for Digital / PR Agency.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Don't be jealous, Be curious!

I have lots of different interests so that's why I am really enthusiastic about the CS project. Through CS I was able to meet all kinds of people and learn a lot of interesting things.

I try to capture unique moments with my camera. I'd like to make a short film of my meetings and my adventures. Work in progress.

I like to share silence, and talking is fun too!

Hosting, surfing, attending the meetings... All these things have opened my mind and have really made me change.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Luvin' the couchsurfing vibes & am always excited to settle into the next mysterious couch (they've all got a story to tell, no?). Most of all its the ppl you meet and the life links you create.

We should meet to tell you all my anecdotes of travel.

In December 2011, we were on tour with my good friend Boris Paillard. During 2 weeks, we have been hosted by amazing US couchsurfer. Every day, my friend Boris was performing in a different city. We had the chance to discover more than 12 states on East Cost and Middle East of US. As filmaker, I filmed our intense road-trip and the meeting with the couchsurfer. It was an amazing and inspiring experience.

Interests

Meeting People, Creating unique moments, Exploring the Collective Intelligence, Taking photos, Filming real-life

I'm open to learn whatever you have to offer.

Respect everyone especially your guests/hosts. Follow the house rules and never ever offend the guests/hosts.
Having hosted all kinds of people from various parts of the world I've come to realize we are all equal apart from the colour, custom, culture, food, language, etc.
