My wife Olesia grew up in the Republic of Bashkiria (Russia). She's a stylist & food photographer.
She has qualified in economics in the High School of Economics, Saint-Petersbourg.
She's currently learning ceramics. She loves cooking and travelling.
She is also writing for many travel blogs.

I'm born and grown up in the north-est of France. I worked in London for several years as an in-house lawyer, Director and Co. Secretary.
I'm now fully dedicated to art, fine-art photography and architecture photography.
I've been travelling to many countries and continue doing it as long as it will be possible for me.
I'm very found of art and architecture.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

During my travels I always try to get close to the inhabitants, to live for a while as they do. For that reason, I've often been staying at people's places. Couchserfing seems to me to work as a short-cut to my aim. And in return, I'm also willing to meet people with the same state of mind.
