About Me

I am a French student in Business, and I want to travel using more adventurous ways than the basic touristic ones. I'm a simple and optimistic person who likes to have deep discussion, discover and share experiences or contemplate things.

When I lived in Myanmar, my roomie was really into Couchsurfing and we hosted at home a lot of travellers ! It has been a really profound experience and I met amazing people. In particular, I loved the simplicity of such meetings. This is why I am now using the app for my hitchhiking trip accros Europe.

I really love music and I play some guitar. I like trekking, reading and talking about philosophy and poetry, and I play some rugby.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am planning a two months-trip accross Europe from July to August this summer.
I'm planning to go from Paris to Istanbul hitchhiking, on the way go and back !! Which makes approximatively 7000km of roads to hit on my own, with the help of my future hosts ;)

I will try to reach and stop by those main cities : Paris & Strasbourg (France), Munich (Germany), Vienna (Austria), Budapest (Hungary), Belgra (Serbia), Sofia (Bulgaria) and Istanbul (Turkey).
On my way back, I'll shoot Thessalonica (Greece), Tiranë (Albania), Podgorica (Montenegro) , Dubrovnik, Rijeka(Croatia), Venise & Milan (Italy), then back to France, with Marseille, Montpellier and Toulouse.

I want to discover other cultures experiencing the every day life and the most close point of view possible, the one of the inhabitant of a place. I'm a friendly and easy-going person experiences oriented, and I want to share ideas, opinions, dreams and experiences with the people I'll meet, as one of the best way to grow one's personality and humanity.

In particular, I want to discover more about the Rebetiko music in Turkey and Greece, and all the local and/or traditional music I can find !

One of the interest of mixing hitchhiking and couchsurfing is making me completely dependant on the meetings I'll do, letting them orientate my trip !!
