French entrepreneur, moved to London in 2009. I am very professionally driven but I am also taking some time off to discover new cultures. I am currently learning Portuguese and Spanish with the intent to spend a lot of time in South America as well as southern Europe.

I have had a very unusual life, I dropped out of business school to pursue a successful carrer as a poker player, I am now mainly working in properties and as an angel investor.

For fun, apart from traveling, I love the outdoors, especially skiing, climbing and I am now starting the 7 Summits challenge, starting this summer with Mont Blanc and Aconcagua next year.

I also love bigger cities for their cultural life, I am also into wine and attend a lot of wine tasting / travel to visit vineyard (I am french after all!)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people and experience a different lifestyle. I have actually became a bit addicted to Couch Surfing as my first experiences were extremely positive.

I am fortunate enough to have a nice place to accommodate travellers but when I am travelling I absolutely do not mind staying in rougher conditions. I can sleep as well in 5* hotels or on a sofa in someones living room. On most month I actually do both!
