I'm a physical adapted activity teacher for health. I've been working 3 years in south west of France with elderly and disabled people.
At this time I used to visit friends and family on the weekends to spend time outdoor, practice sports in the countryside.
Then I moved 1 year to Brussels to join my girlfriend and worked in an antiques auction sale and discovered this incredible world.
Last year we moved in La Réunion Island in the Indian Ocean to work in a physical rehabilitation clinic. I used to hike and trek a lot in this volcanic island. I also discover the sport of fishing in deep sea and saw beautiful creatures as blue marlins...
Since 3 month I started a world tour backpacking for 11 month. I went to Africa, now discovering south America and I will finish in Asia.
When I will be back in France I will go back for 1 year to university to graduate in management of health institutions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing to come closer to people daily life in differents places, some more authentic meetings than in hostels for example.

Interests

I'm crazy about trekking few days in nature in total autonomy and share good places with other people when I'm back to town. I feel so good after a long physical activity as a trek when I'm back in town to enjoy a good cook with local food and some wine or beer.

I also enjoy a lot learning about local history by talking with locals and share my customs with them.

I played a few team sports as football, handball, rugby and volley-ball and like to watch some game when there are some.

I also feel really alive while meeting people and share a dinner and going out partying sometime in good places.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen a volcano eruption in La Reunion Island

Teach, Learn, Share

I think it's nourishing to hear others stories (trips, life, jokes...).
I can share some experiences and stories about french cooking, wines, antiques furnitures, travelling with backpack.
During my trip I think that travelling for some days with unknown and friendly people is a very unique experience.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good outdoor experiences, good food&drinks, life discussions.
