About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Try to take over the world!

ABOUT ME

My story in a nutshell :
I have been living for 8 years in Toulouse (South of France) for my studies. After my studies, I have been travelling around two years (6 month in Europe, 6 month in Asia and 1 year in South America). In this travel I discovered a passion for the moutains (mountaneering, rock climbing, summit climbing, ..) ans that's why now I am trying to live close to the mountains !

In theses days I try a new concept : Hitch-Biking (cf. Photos)
It's not traveling ON a bike but traveling WITH a bike (by hitchhiking).
For long distance (>30km) -> hitchhike with the bike folded (a Brompton)
For short distance or reaching highways --> city discovering by bike

I am a good handyman, so if you have something to fix: it is a good opportunity to host me !

I love cooking, and I try to cook a speciality to those who host me (friends, CSers, people met in parties or hitchhiking..).

And I also love beer ! so I do not refuse to accompany someone to go for a drink, or to party.

PHILOSOPHY

to not procrastinate, if you want to do something: do it !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I don't know..

In these times, I like to do urban exlporation, it consists to visit unusual things like caves, catacombes, buildings under construction, ruins,cranes, scaffolding, etc. So if you know places like these and you want to visit, we could make a great team !
I have climbed a 6500m summit
I have Hitchhiked from France to Lithuania in two days

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach cooking, fixing a lot of things with almost nothing, and if you really want I can teach sciences...

I want to learn languages, various way of life, cooking specialities, music (especially reggae or balkan).

And to share a lot of things, starting with meals.

What I Can Share with Hosts

The moon !
More seriously : we can have fun, good time, good discussions, good food...
