About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be wiser, and happier. That means learning from other people, playing a lot of music, taking care of the food I eat, expressing myself through different medium as much as I can.

ABOUT ME

I'm an optimistic young 24 years old fella who likes life and travel. I love learning lessons of life, which goes with the travel. One of the things I've learned in Australia was how to be respectfull towards your hosts, and I think I'm overall pretty good company :)

PHILOSOPHY

In each moment there is a lesson.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Ive had the chance to meet Al in Cuenca, and he offered me a lot, more than just a couch : I've eaten with him, gone out, discovered the city thanks to his knowledge. I really enjoyed it so hopefully I'll do some other good trips that way :)

Interests

I love drawing, painting and general crafting, and I also really enjoy playing music (guitar, piano, didjeridoo, anything !). I love going to museums, but also go out and have a drink, watch a movie, anything that involves company will make me happy. I also enjoy talking about philosophy and spirituality.

Music, Movies, and Books

Eckart Tolle and the power of Now. This book has been with me for almost two years now, but the depth of its teaching makes it timeless I think!
A few movies I really enjoyed : Her, Gran Budapest Hotel, Django unchained.
As for the music now, I'm having a Damon Albarn phase, so Blur, Gorillaz, the good, the bad and the queen, but also things like Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes, etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Scuba Diving in the great barrere reef in Cairns. I spent three days on a boat, and I was soooo mesmerized when I saw my first turtle. I'll never forget the peacefullness I felt inside thanks to that beautiful beast.
I also loved Kings Canyon, near Alice Springs. It was hot, but sooo beautiful... Uluru was also pretty marvellous.
