About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learning and improving knowledges in the field of traditionnal construction: with wood and/or earth. I als o want to learn how to make grown vegetables and fruits, in order to be more and more independent in the future. I am also looking for a place where to crash. But for the next months I will be in Spain, doing workaway in traditional construction works.

ABOUT ME

I'm an architect who grew up in Paris, France. I passed my diploma in 2012 in Versailles (FR), then enjoyed spending one year in Berlin (DE), worked hardly one year in Lyon (FR) and found a job opportunity in Vienna (AT) where I lived one year. I met there the one I love, and we decided together to go back to Lyon.

Since I don't know so many people there, I will always enjoy having a beer or sharing something a bit creative with someone: playing theater, visiting an exhibition or graphic designing, building pieces of furniture....

When I have a little bit of time (and of course, a little bit of money), I like to travel all over the world and most of all, meet people from different countries and share with them.

I'm a lover of Germany and Berlin, worked about this place for my diploma, and lived there one year.

PHILOSOPHY

I think that everybody has an experience, a past life, and we should all of us mix everything, for creating new things, and most of all, new way of thinking the world. I especially like all kinf of creations, and I think it's better to create with many people, from different traditions!
I think this is the basic of a democraty, to mix all this knowledges and heritages, and create everyday something new with that melting pot.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I did some workcamps (in Lithuania, Spain and I also animated a workcamp in France) in order to do something more usefull than just visiting as a tourist, and in order to meet many people from a lot of countries (lithuania, japan, korea, mexico, serbia, ukrainia, russia, spain, italia, turkey, Czech Republic...) That's a great way of travelling and discover a lot of things!

I also hosted some people in Bucharest, and indicated them my favorite places in this secret city. I'm used to traval or to move in other countries, and Couchsurfing always helped me to meet new and very sweet persons.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I mostly hosted couchsurfers than I couchsurfed by myself, and it always has been wonderful and rich experiences.
