Offer my couch if available and meet new people

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've just discovered the concept and website thanks to my friend Benoît. I actually met Benoît 3 years ago in Lyon : he stayed over in my place with some friends of his for a couple of days ! And since then we became friends !
I also met this American guy Dan in Ireland and then met him again in France and offered him a place to stay for a few days. Looking forward to living again new experiences.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watch the sunset in the desert in Morocco : no lighting pollution, almost no sounds at all, except that you actually hear your inner ear working !!!! Amazing unforgettable experience.
But now I did my first parachute jump, that is the MOST wonderful, incredible, strongest thing I've ever done! Free fall is just the greatest sensation I've ever felt in my whole life so far.
