ABOUT ME

Olivier, male, French, 34
6 years ago
I've decided to take a break with my job for one year and travel and discover the world.
I crossed the Atlantic on a sailing boat to the Caribbeans. I traveled around South America for 5 months in Colombia, Peru Bolivia, Argentina and Brasil and in the US for 3 others months and I very much enjoyed the people I met through CS.

Today, I am settled Brazil with my girlfriend and still enjoy meeting travelers.

PHILOSOPHY

Depêchez vous de succomber à la tentation avant qu'elle ne s'éloigne (Siacome Casanova, 1725-1798)

could be translated as : hurry to succumb to temptation before it moves away

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

CS appears to me as a nice way to travel because it involves meeting and making friends with a large community of former travellers or locals who desires to make you discover their place. I just think it's one of the best idea on the web since the creation of Google and Facebook !!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I registered on CS when I start traveling in 2010 and I tried to surf on CS everytime I can, i had only so amazing experiences and I made really good friends !
