ABOUT ME

I'm French, I opened my own company in Russia, my job gives me the opportunity to travel a lot and meet lots of interesting people, it's a blessing because there's nothing more important than human interaction, that makes you a better person and a more complete professional.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

First I didn't believe in Couchsurfing, I thought it was something made for hippies and students only but I gave it a chance and I realized that beyond the organized events, you can meet fantastic people that change your life and you can change theirs in return. I had a few experiences like that.

Interests

I live in an Historical Center, downtown so each time I can get out, it's to get closer to nature and wildlife which I adore most. I enjoy reading classic literature, I am a big fan of old films (50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's) I enjoy meeting new interesting people from different backgrounds and network with them.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This year I completed a 5000 km road trip in Australia, last year a 7000 km road trip in S-E USA, the year before I completed a 4000 km road trip in Caifornia-Nevada and the year before I created a business in Russia though I hardly knew any Russian language and I almost knew no one.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teaching: languages: to reduce conflicts among people and understand the world better, organisational behaviour: to understand the foreign countries expectation in terms of corporate culture, operational marketing/ web marketing/ e-commerce: they are powerful tools to network and open new opportunities

What I Can Share with Hosts

Many good stories, memorable social times, long term friendship, eventually business opportunities
