CURRENT MISSION

Take a year off to explore, and look for my next job

ABOUT ME

I love to travel, especially (but not exclusively) on my motorcycle, and discover new countries, new cultures, new people. I travel mostly on my own at the moment but like to connect with people during my trips and hear their own experiences.

I am French Canadian, from Montreal. I left my hometown in 2000 and have since lived in Australia (Sydney) and now in France since 2005. But I am currently homeless, as I have taken a year off and don't expect to stay in the same place the whole time, so who knows what my next destination will be.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I find it so interesting to meet people in their own environment and getting to know them.
And the generosity is just amazing - opening your home to a complete stranger.

I hope I can do the same one day, but I didn't live in a touristy place before and now I don't have a home anymore.

Interests

Traveling, riding my motorcycle, getting to know new people, cinema, walking, swimming, reading, yoga
I am also planning an off-road motorcycle trip to Namibia, see how that goes!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Meeting people while traveling alone and feeling like I had known them forever - happened in 2012 on the ferry to Sardinia.
Traveling by myself going to Turkey (on the motorcycle) on a 10-week trip going through amazing places like Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia...

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach French and help out with English if you are interested.
I haven't practised English since I moved to France though so would like some conversations with you anglophones out there.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Can't host for the moment but I can hangout wherever I am and share what I know about the place - if I know anything about it ;)
