Hi everyone !

I'm a french guy from Paris, I'm currently teacher in elementary school. I enjoy travelling and moving to different places (I have a lot of holidays :P), I travelled a lot by myself or with some friends all over the world, I used to live in different cities in France and Europe, that's why I can speak several languages !

I am open minded, I enjoy meeting new people, discovering new languages and cultures
I love arts (theatre, plastic art, cinema, musics etc), sport (swimming, walking, jogging..) I also do short videos, draw comics and played drums (djembé/batacada)
this is my websites :

Even if I love to make news experiences and to discover new countries, I must confess I'm scared to fly.. (anyway I fly being drunk)

I'd tried to hitchhike a lot and I'd like to go somewhere with my bike or just on foot! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

'Cause it's a brillant idea! For me, it's cooler to meet people from where I go when I travel, to get to know a culture from their point of view!

I already have hosted people at my place!
and I've also surfed many time :)
