About Me

French guy living in wellington, New Zealand

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting strangers usually means that you'll have to break the ice, a thing that I'm really bad at even as a pretty sociable person. I guess I just don't like formalities; so this is a pretty sweet alternative to meet people - hosting, be hosted, or just hanging - you just cut the crap, hang out, share and make histories.

I haven't surfed much, mainly hosted surfers on and off CS. Travelling alone I usually use the hang out app to meet people, share and make histories.

Interests

If I'm not climbing, plugged to a guitar amp, crowdsurfing at a concert, snowboarding, sprawled in a movie theater, lost into an abandoned place or exploring the globe you'll probably find me at the nearest pub!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music passionate; from death metal to bulgarian hip-hop through classical and electronic music. I'm a movie freak too.

I'd stay a whole week end drooling and watching netflix, but I can't really stay focused on a book more than half an hour. Although, from my latests many tries, only Bukowski managed to get my attention.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Doing sauna and ice swimming in Finland by -20°c. Lately got lost in the biggest national park of the same country by night, blizzard, and -15°c. Left a piece of ego up there but a hell of a story.

Teach, Learn, Share

Can talk about music and movies for hours, and been playing guitar for quite a while now. French culture, history, your culture, your history. Booze too, I actually make some of my own, I guess that's some of the many french legacies.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A coffee, a beer, a couch, a hangover?
