Simple, easy-going and curious, I like nature, culture, travelling...and basically discovering new "things" as broad as this term can encompass. I am looking for more intensity and willing to learn every day.
To be succinct (and a bit caricatural), I prefer a long hitchhiking journey to an airplane one and human interactions to virtual ones.

By the way, after having crossed Northern Europe and part of Asia, I'm about to land in New-Zealand and would be both happy and grateful to meet people willing to exchange and spend some time with me...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Using a couple account before and enjoying that, I'm now on my own and more willing than ever to meet people from around the world.
I do like the spontaneity, the intensity, a new world with its new ideas coming to you... So I want to meet amazing humans again, for pleasure, discovery and good vibes transfer.
And as Aristotle used to say, you must be a God or a wild beast to live alone... Having not yet chosen my way through these two tempting paths, I don't want to spend the evening alone.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Turning off my Tv set and computer, closing the entrance door, and travelling in the unknown for a while (almost in Bilbo Baggins' style).

Or making a quick and rather radical decision. And sticking to it...

Teach, Learn, Share

Just want to meet people I wouldn't have otherwise and share with them and learn from them, hear their life vision or just their weekly plan, talk about their ideas and passions...

What I Can Share with Hosts

To have some good times and exchange ideas and positive energy, either silent moment or endless talk about awesome ways of seeing life and living it... I'm always open to new ideas and offers.
I am unfortunately a pretty bad cook (so far, but keep working on it)... but I'll try to compensate for this weakness with many human warmth !
