Overview
About Me
Meet new people, new cultures, new arts, have fun and share!
I am a photographer and teacher, passionate about travels, music, arts, and sharing moments and thoughts and views and... life!!
I quit my job as a legal advisor and started a new life adventure in 2014, when I decided to leave for a year on a long trip by myself around the world.
Now I am living out of teaching French, doing photo missions that inspire me, and travelling, which gives a sense to most things I do.
Having been living in Athens for two years is another great adventure.
Don't worry, be happy, discover, listen. And share with others!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I can sometimes host but I am not always at home.
I will host you whenever I can!
I can also show you around my city and have a drink or a coffee or a walk to share good moments!
And of course I am also available to give you information about France or Greece. Anything that could make you enjoy your travel!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
My first CS experience was in 2008. A friend of mine knew CS and we were hosted in Roma with three friends by a couchsurfer.
I have received a lot of people in my place and I do it as soon and as much as I can, because I really enjoy discovering people from any place around the world and sharing with them different points of view on the world and how it goes.
I feel grown up from the experiences people share with me when they come and the interesting talks we have, as well as from the happiness people can bring just with their personnalities and their simplicity.
I also travelled a lot via couchsurfing during my trips around the world and people are great, share their thoughts, homes and time... what else could I expect??
CS is GREAT
Interests
Check out my website www.zafphotography.com !
Photography, and sometimes videomaking, is my main occupation when not teaching. Documentary photography as well as urban, portraits and artistic photography when I feel like it (and have good ideas).
I have been making graffiti for more than fifteen years and am very often drawing for my pleasure when I have spare time. Athens is a perfect field for that!
I am often going to music concerts. I love above all those concerts in small places where you can be close to the artists and enjoy a better sound.
And of course... above all, I love travelling!
Music, Movies, and Books
Movies : Guy Ritchie, Tarantino, Tim Burton, Martin Scorcese, Stanley Kubrik... and so many others! But I also like laughing in front of a good comedy movie, be scared in front of a horror movie and be amazed by documentaries!
Music : I grew up with hip-hop, now I also love reggae, trip-hop, funk, blues, drum and base... and some kinds of electro music. But I am open to any new good music!
Books : On the road (J. Kerouac), Wild (C. Strayed), Hennin Mankell, Camilla Lackberg (Swedish detective novels), "Outliers" by Malcom Gladwell, comic strips (Gaston Lagaffe, Socrate le demi-chien, Spirou, One piece, Hunter X Hunter...). And I am opened to any good book that you could advise me ;)
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I was blessed by an elephant who touched my head with its trunk in front of a Ganesh temple in India
I saw a whale making a big impressive jump 5 metres away from me!
I saw a dead cow lying on the BACK on the side of a road (harsh!)
Seeing the Fitz Roy in El Chalten, argentinian Patagonia
Skydiving through the incredible landcapes of South Island in New Zealand.
LIVING!
Teach, Learn, Share
What I would like to teach or share : Everything I can!
What I would like to learn : Everything YOU can!
What I Can Share with Hosts
Sharing music, cooking, life philosophies, a good mindspirit... my place... everything!
I just have a 2persons convertible sofa but I can offer heat and happiness!
