About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Carpe Diem

ABOUT ME

I live a cool lifestyle. Very open-minded, love to make party and go out, or just stay at home for watch a movie or just speak. I like meet new culture and people.

Actually I left all behind me ( my job, my apartment, my city, ... ) and travel around europe to meet people, look at new future. I'm open mind and every new experience is good to do.

I also love to take a lot of picture of details, street art, building but also around the sightseeing to learn more about the atmosphere of a city. I really enjoy that ! But of course after that, i take the time to go out ^^

I can be quiet if you need, i can manage myself, but if we can hang out a few, it could be very cool.

PHILOSOPHY

Carpe Diem... be happy, enjoy life !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting all people that i can.
That's why i accept last minutes request. But i can't host all the time ;p so make your request and i will answer you ;p.
For the moment i host only, but i'm enjoying of meet new people from different country and help them when i can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

After 7 years of Couchsurfing, it is just amazing.
I could host 10 persons, or 1, sometime for 1 night, sometimes for 1 week.

Each time is different, and i really enjoy IT

The only problem in my experience, it's i host more than 100 peoples, but surf only 2 times. I want to chafe that this summer.
