ABOUT ME

Hi there,
I'm just a simple French guy traveling around the world since the 26th of July 2011.

I passed in 2011 a Fine Arts diploma and wondered what was going on out of my small country.

So I took my backpack and my best friend and we hitchhiked to Kiev, then we kept on traveling to East till I found my feet on the french soil again. So basically a world trip of a year and half which made me think about new plans, like living in UK from 2013 to... hem ! Dunno.

So this is about the Backpacker's part !

About the other part : I'm crazy about independent comic books and graphic novels. Don't let me talk about that, it takes five hours !!

So, as it's very simple to make your own fanzine or books in this medium, I made with five friends a publishing house in 2010 to make our own books based on the idea of the book-object (a book-object is a book that looks like everything except a book !)

That's for the big lines. Ah yep ! Last thing : I'm addicted to coffee !

PHILOSOPHY

Don't waste time doing things you hate.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My participation about Cs ? Similar as a lot of people I think : sharing experiences, point of view, tips, etc with people that you meet.
For the moment I can't host but this time will come !

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Every experience was unique ! Some relaxed with a talk around a cup, some more... unexpectable ! Like where you find yourself drinking, singing and eating a watermelon on the top of a soviet tank (thanks Taras !).
