About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy Canada !!

ABOUT ME

I think I would define myself as being an optimistic French guy. I move on in life, always with a kind of it's-gonna-be-great feeling. I really enjoy to meet people coming from everywhere, getting to know a bit of all the different cultures, therefore I'm always ready for a CS meeting/event :-)

PHILOSOPHY

Be happy with what you have.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I mainly participate in CS activities, in Toulouse (France), such as meeting in bars, and hiking around : the south west of France has so much to offer in terms of natural sites, but also in terms of places where you can party.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed once in Belfast, in December 2008. Then I've been hosted by awesome people in Valencia and in Madrid, in Spain. I've had just great CS experiences.

Interests

Running (started barefoot running recently), playing the piano and the violin (fiddle), yoga, dancing salsa and rock 'n' roll, watching tv shows. But one of my favourite thing in the whole world is to sit down in a corner of a coffee shop, with a good drink, and a good book!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Cross Canada by car, from Ottawa all the way to Vancouver Island! A fabulous road-trip with my partner Heather.

Going to live in Ireland, without knowing anyone, having no job, and no flat. And succeeding having a good life there, and amazing friends!

Teach, Learn, Share

For having lived in different places in the world, and because I will always want to challenge and expend my views about the world, I hope that I will get to teach/learn/share bits of culture, and discuss about everything which is going on around the world. Because I keep discovering the world and its people are beautiful and interesting, and we all live in such interesting times!

Countries I’ve Visited

Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Mexico, Portugal, Sierra Leone, Spain, Turkey, United Kingdom, United States
