About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Get the coolest motorhome to rally Kyiev or Baikonur...
Also, Easter Island and Alaska are on my list of things to do soon
Actually, there are so many places I want to visit, I cannot list them all....

ABOUT ME

Hey,

My aspiration: live in a motorhome.
When and how is still to be defined.
Also, I would like to open a very cool campsite where people would feel at home.
Where ? not sure exactly. For now, let's say I am thinking about it....

I guess that everything I have done is work work work and only work ;-(
Actually so much, I burnt out (2016)
Now, I am back on my feet or on my bike....

The bright side of that sick devotion to work is that it gives me the opportunity to travel once a year and really take the time to enjoy real life, discover places I know nothing about AND meet real people.

I would like to do that for a living ;-)

PHILOSOPHY

doesn't matter as long as you believe in something that respects others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i just wanna join the community because its concept is brilliant.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have met many couch surfers, thanks to my friend Thomas B.
Always cool people.
I realize that I've been a CS host long before the CS site existed.
I used to work in a youth hostel and I invited some hostelers to stay at my place instead of spending their money on a dorm bed. That's how, my friend Nicolas Mansfield from Australia stayed at my place for almost 2 months.

Interests

Travel
I'd like to get a camping car (it makes my friends laugh) and drive it through Russia.
More importantly, I would like to LIVE in a van.
It really is a plan. How ? that is still uncertain but I am working on it.
