Overview
About Me
Since spring 2019, I'm back form a 30 month bicycle (20000 km) and hitchhiking (30000 km) tour in Europe and Asia.
Since I'm back form my cycle tour, I don't have my proper apartment. A lovely friend is hosting me at the moment, so I can't host anyone. Sorry !
Here was the spirit of this journey:
I'm fond of speaking with people who is waiting on the bench, triing to be hosted in funny places by knocking at doors, hich-hiking of many differents means of transport (tractor, barge, ski, rickshaw, bus, selling boat, ...), cycling through different countries, discovering the secret waterfall in the desert, ... But the main goal omis to try to be the most open-minded, by meeting the most people I can, with a large different way of thinking, living, loving, smiling, speaking, dreaming ...
To make it possible, I've got 3 rules :
- No money for the transport
- No money for overnight stay
- No money for realising a dream ... for sure, I've got a large bucket list !
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
"Travel like a local" is the way I love traveling. Thanks to this network, I met many of my friends and I'm happy when I have the possibility to host at my place. Also I can travel everywhere and feel that I'm welcome ... it's a great initiativ !
To the CS Team, thank you so much for making it soooo simple !

What I Can Share with Hosts
I'm a animator - I love playing board games to create a good atmosphere. I'm also always happy to introduce my guest to my friends, and I also propose the visit of my region.
When I'm travelling, I like to talk about my adventure around Europe and Asia by bicycle when someone ask me. I'm also curious to learn about the tradition and the history from the country I cross.
