Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
On a world tour with my best friend for one year (oct. 2018 - sept. 2019)
ABOUT ME
French mechanical and industrial engineer. I just finished my studies and decided to travel the world before it is too late :)
I want to go out of my comfort zone, to meet people and to learn their way of living, their philosophy, their traditions. I want to open my eyes to whatever the world has to offer, I want to know that there are so many incredible things out there, and not only my little Parisian life.
PHILOSOPHY
I am open-minded, easy-going, and I always want to discover new things. For me, you can always learn, even from the tiniest thing.
I try to always see the positive side of everything, to always be positive, grateful for what I have and what I am.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I am doing a world tour during one whole year with my best friend and my principal goal is to meet new people all around the world, discover their culture and share our experiences !
We have been to Sri Lanka, India, Nepal, China, Hong Kong, South Korea, Japan, Indonesia, Australia, New Zealand, Tahiti, Easter Island, Chile, Bolivia, Peru, USA and Canada. We have had so many amazing Couch Surfing experiences !!

Music, Movies, and Books
I enjoy almost every kind of music. I don’t have a favorite though, it really depends on my mood.
I also watch a lot of movies and series of all types. I am really open-minded about that.
For books, I really like writers like Bernard Webber or Issac Asimov. I can also enjoy a good science fiction or fantasy book once in a while.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
May 2016 : Trekking in Canaries Islands (Tenerife) : I was vice-president of my school’s association of trekking, and 4 friends and I took responsibility to bring 20 students to the Mount Teide (3800m). It was such an amazing experience, in every way !
In December 2018, I climbed the Kyanjin Ri (4400m) in Nepal.
An other amazing experience was the 2016 Marathon in Paris : a great achievement for me, and surely not the last one.
And of course, every single day of my world tour between October 2018 and October 2019 !
Teach, Learn, Share
Well I think I can teach French culture, cook French food, etc... and share my travel experiences and my way of thinking. Of course I would love to learn local culture, how my host is living and the history of his city.
What I Can Share with Hosts
A good talk to share a nice moment with local people. Maybe French or local food !
