CURRENT MISSION

World tour by bike

ABOUT ME

I'm a person who has been working for 4 years with computers on a management system. I decided to to bear that job that I didn't really like for 4 years in order to earn enough money to have a break in my life and enjoy it a little. With this work, the thing that lacked was the some kind of social link Ith people. Computers don't speak... So now I'm planning to meet the most interesting people I can. Every meeting with a new person is a totally new experience and I hope to enjoy ech of these during this world tour.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy life for a while and all the world has to offer. I want to do it on my own. I like the fact that I am lonely all day to worry about questions or just to enjoy landscapes and the fact that when I arrive somewhere, Im really happy to socialize and meet new people. I think it's a good way to make a break in the life and get to know what you really want once you return.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm using this way to get in touch with people from all the places I'll go through. This way of meeting local people seems the perfect adequation with the aim of my travel consisting of meeting new people and seeing new places. So people can tell me the best ways and cities around I should head to next and also what places to see in the countries they have travelled. My experience so far is beyond expectations and I want to keep going like this as long as it is possible.
Also I have to say it is quite difficult sometimes for me to plan my travel with couchsurfing. I don't have a phone with me and I connect only from Wifi places at bars or when I can. So sorry if my requests are sometimes not personal but it's just that it allows me to not spend too much time on it. It's not that I don't want but I also have to ride a little... I hope this won't prevent me to get to know you. If that's really necessary I have skype to call but lso from places where I can get Wifi. So if these inconveniences don't bother you too much, I'd be glad to meet you !

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Until now I've only benn using this website to find couches as I am away for two years. But the way people are hosting me definitely makes me want to give them back what they gave me once I'll return. I see this website as a perfect way to make an internarional network that allows you to evolve through the different persons you meet. So I hope you'll be part of that change ! For example, one of the person that I met made me discover a world that was totally unknown to me. She was working with falcons and made shows with them. I was even invited to hold one on my arm. This could never hve happened without this website. I hope to live many things like that, but even without falcons, sharing a little time talking is just enough to me, especially when our languages are different and see how funny we manage.

Interests

For the moment I would say that my main interests are byking and travelling. I have the chance to be able to live that for a while and I plan to enjoy it in the way it should. Apart from that I'm a very open person who likes to learn anything. I like la giages and hope to learn spanish and arabic during the trip. I think learning a new language opens your mind to a new way of thinking and seeing things, especially when you cross the countries that speak these languages.
I also listen to a lot of music. I think it is my second partner that allows me to complete this marvellous journey. Arriving at a new country, I listen to local music and always discover new rythms and new influences. I played myself a little bit of guitar but some problems to my left fingers occured in the beginning of the trip that prevent me from playing... I hope it will come back.

Music, Movies, and Books

Into the wild would be an obvious choice. The truth is I'm not so extremist to find some communin with nature. My aim is simply to arrive somewhere with by bike, a non aggressive way to get to know people from a place.
Started the journey reading the wonderful of Nils Holgersson. There was a cartoon about this book that I watched when I was you g and I kind of identified to that character, just instead of riding a goose, I'm on a bike.
For the music I listen to everything apart from the kind of music I would consider as just noise, meaning techno, dance, house. I also have many friends living from music whom I love to listen to while I'm on the roads.
