About Me

Hello, world. I'm a pretty laid back guy who enjoys hanging out with friends, playing music, acting, reading, coding, the outdoors and motorcycle rides.

I'm a mix of French, English and Australian - hence my often unpredictable accent. I love good food and wine, long conversations & making fun of pretty much everything - especially myself. Maybe a little of you, too.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As Forrest would say: CS is like a box of chocolates - impossible to know what you'll get next. Most of the time though, I know I'm going to meet open minded, lovely people and I find this idea pretty awesome.

Having backpacked for a little while myself, I also know what it feels like to enjoy a proper bed, bathroom and kitchen once in a while!

Now... Why are *you* on CS? Why would you want to meet me instead of another host? And most importantly... do you drink red or white wine?

Oh you
You who know me like nobody else does
