I'm an adventurer at heart. But I'm easy-going and can go with the flow. I'm laid back and pretty much open to anything. I'm a Hitchhiker and a Couch Surfer and a Host. Even if i was rich i would continue to explore the world this way because it is the most rewarding and educational and fun way to discover new culture, places, and things. My view on life is that it's a series of moments rather than a continuous ongoing story. We aren't really the same person from one day to the next. I just want to experience as many different and pleasurable moments as possible... and to live in that moment. You don't know how much time you got, so I try to absorb everything I can in this world while I can.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

There are so many great moments and experiences I've had due to CS in so many countries and languages. The best part is the amazing friends I've made along the way. I have hitchhiked across North America, South America, Europe, and Russia.

both hosting and surfing are always a pleasure.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

I like to hitchhike across continents. I slept on a 45 degree granite slope in a sleeping bag tied to a tree once, that was fun.
