October 24 update :
After doing some logistics & farming this year, I'm studying English more seriously, the plan is to teach it in France next year.
But first I'll travel from France to Senegal by land, mostly hitchiking! I'd love to meet as many nice people as possible on the way :)

January 2024 update :
I now have a place big in half to host people in Caulnes, Bretagne, would be glad to host some fellow travelers!

Hi !
I am Simon from Bretagne, west of France, beautiful region. I often say I'm travelling the world to verify that Bretagne still is the best place in the world to live in. And until now, I haven't found better, maybe someone will proove me that I was wrong one day!

I worked for three years as an IT engineer, then had a "gap-year" cycling around Europe and hitchking the middle east. Back home I worked in logistics and now in an organic farm !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I always try to have trips where I am involved with locals, by approaching the culture and people as much as I can. And that's what CS is doing the best !

Interests

I've been playing the guitar since the day a guitar was taller than me! (folk guitar mostly, and sometimes classic and electric).
I'm not bad in IT, I seldom run and do some trekking in high mountains. I usually seek nice natural places when travelling abroad.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The one-year trip I did in 2022-2023 ! Traveling with as much time as I need, enjoying the places and people I meet as much as I can.. First time I can experienced that.
I did 7 months by bicycle, 3 months hitchiking and 2 with various means of transportation, amazing journey !

Teach, Learn, Share

I taught guitar since I am 15yo, and love to jam with any mate I meet..

What I Can Share with Hosts

I now have a bedroom for guests in Caulnes, and a sofa on the living room for additional guests.

For my hosts, I can share some cool travel experiences, my music, and of course my good humor !
