About Me

Life is a playground. I want to enjoy beeing alive, live new experiences, meet interesting people :) I wanna have a simple life : live rather than think about work all the time, be sustainable and healthy, be in harmony with the world, be as zero waste as possible. Not always easy when traveling, but I do my best :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I travelled though the west coast of the USA in june 2015 and in Europe in January 2016 where I met many interesting couchsurfer hosts. Couchsurfing gives travelling a unique social and cultural level that is really hard to get otherwise.
I also met many people in Aachen through couchsurfind to do french/german tandem, a very nice experience where I met lovely people.

Interests

My number one interest in life is FOOD! I love cooking, I love sharing a meal, I love talking about it, I love discovering new recipes, Im just a big foodie!

My number 2 interest in life is, obviously TRAVELLING. Trips makes me feel like I open my mind and everything seems then possible. The more i discover, the more i know what i want from life. The more i see or experience, the more i get inspired and happy. I like taking my time, meeting people on the way, noticing small details about a place or a culture.

My number 3 big interest in life is anything image-related. I have been studying Cinema and Film animation for many years now and love the noble art of photography, especially night, stars and sky pictures.

My number 4 interest is sport. I just love moving. Scuba diving is one of my favourite ! Love volleyball, badminton, squash, biking, snowboarding, skiing, ice skating, sledging, hiking, yoga, bouldering, etc...

I do not read often, but I like Bernard Werber collection (les fourmis before all!), Harry Potter, Tim Ferris books, Mark Manson books and many other personal development books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Slept in a cave in the middle of the Malaysian rainforest, scuba dived around the gili islands (Indonesia), Egypt and Guadeloupe, visited 8 countries in Asia in 84 days and made a short animated film about it, sneaked in the Marina Bay swimming pool, survived the 50℃ desert and the -40℃ Montreal winter, time travelled by plane from Seoul to Vancouver,
