ABOUT ME

Hi, my name is Maxime.

I'm 27 years old.

I love to travel.

And I don't know how to play chess.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is to those who dare to dream.

Every chance is an opportunity and every opportunity is a chance.

"Screw it, let's do it."

"Al you've got to do, is to decide to go and the hardest part is over."

"Not all those who wander are lost."

Get outside into the sunshine.

Don't forget to smile!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far, I crashed at other people's places but one day I'll make it up. Yeah, one day...

PS I live in Shanghai but I use VPN to roam the internet freely. Even though my last login might locate me somewhere else, I'm still in SH.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I got into CS in the middle of 2009 and since then I try to use it as much as possible.

To me, getting invited (or invite yourself...) to local people's homes is the ultimate way to get fully understanding of the country your travelling in.

Every home you visit, is different and every family you visit has a different look upon things which leads to interesting conversations and might even change your own view upon things...

Interests

Travelling

Taking pictures
