ABOUT ME

I started to travel when i was 21 yo. I left France to spend 1 year in New Zealand, where I worked for few months. I bought a car with a bed at the back and started a new life's style. After that I I travelled in South East Asia and I caught the backpacker virus.
When I came back, I started to work as a seasonal worker to have a lot of time off, and I bought a campervan to live in. It was 10 years ago.

Then I travelled to Scotland, Iceland, South America, Mongolia...
2 years ago I tried to travel with my bike, and it was a big surprise. Now I quited my job (I was managing a mountain lodge), and I want to travel in all the continents with my beloved bicycle Tornado. I was this winter in Nepal, India and Sri Lanka.

I am now going from Istanbul to Bishkek (Kirghizstan). Let see what's happen !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In Lyon, 2 girls came to my place : one polish for almost a month and a french girl for few days. Great experience. Then I decided to go to some couchsurfing events (there is a lot in Lyon), I met so great people, practised my english... After that, I decided that it was my turn to travel around the world. I started in december 2012 with New Zealand, then South East Asia and China. Then I went to Scotland and Iceland. I'm not a connected person, and that's no easy to do couchsurfing without a smartphone or a computer.
Now I have a smartphone so maybe it will be easier.
