About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel and discover the world, learn many things, have good time !

ABOUT ME

I'm from Brest, i've been studying there for 4 years, in IT/Computer Science at UBO (University of Occidental Brittany) where i learned many things including Mathematics, English, many programming languages. For the 5th year I went to Erasmus in Poland. Now i work as an analyst-developer for an IT company.

I was born in South Brittany, and i grew up there, i was really interested by mathematics, surfing and music (playing the guitar and listening it).

Just feel free to ask questions about me!

PHILOSOPHY

I don't have a particular personal philosophy, i just believe in what i think is good for the people as long as it respects Earth. As an example, I feel like Couchsurfing is a good thing, you travel for free, you discover people's life and home, and it's kinda ecological ! That's why with my girlfriend Lisa we're both vegan :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surf and i host. I consider CS as one of the best way to discover and make people discover your place :) Also a good way to share experiences and crazy stories !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Tacheles at Berlin, when i was 16, and travelling with Polish, Serbian, German and French people. We worked on a photo exposition for a bar during a week. Going to Belgrade after meeting a Serbian friend in Ouessant. Getting my safeguard certificate! Also, i met some cool Erasmus people in Brest during this year, and i had a really good time speaking with them, doing parties...

Travelling to Costa-Rica and Isle Maurice was wonderful too !

And Erasmus in Poland !

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you IT tips&tricks as well as music tracks or guitar stuff. I can teach you how we cook Brittany meals, as well as Maurician or vegan meals, i can make you discover Brest or Sainte-Marine (depending when you'll be coming and where i'll be). I can make you discover videogames i love, as well as the bars, places, i love in Brest. It really depends of what are you wanting to learn and to share !

What I Can Share with Hosts

We have a nice flat in the center of Brest with a bedroom with a 2 people bed + 2 couches for 2 people in the living room, as well as sleeping bags and matress if you are more. By the window you could see our small garden and the public park where our cat Gaïa loves to hide. We can take you for a tour of Brest to make you discover our favorite places, bars and restaurants on the evening or the coast around on the week-end :)
