Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Experiment as much as I can in a life time.
ABOUT ME
I wont say too much about me because you have to meet me to know me. I've been travelling for the last 2 years. In those 2 years, I've been stopping by a lot of beautiful places and less ones to. I realise I love travelling so much that I can't stop at the moment.
When I talk about something, I can get really pasionnate about it and normally people laugh at me when that happen. I'm a positive person, so negative persons please stay away from me, and I really do enjoy knowing about people lifestories, their cultures and what they expect from life. So it's pretty much it, you'll have to meet me to know me more!
PHILOSOPHY
Do what you have to do for yourself and never for someone else. Too many time people do what they are expected to do and it's so sad because those people are not themself. I realise that each decision you make, their is always at least 1 person who will not be happy of it. So my new philosophy, just don't mind what poeple think or say and try to do your best to choose for yourself and not for the others. It's hard sometime, I agree, but life is too short to have regrets and just do what want to do for your own sake.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I'm not too sure what to write in that section, so I wont write anything really.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I did some couchsurfing with some friends in the past and I just enjoyed it so much that I can't believe that so many people are missing out of this amazing experience. Being with locals is the best part of travelling and it's the reason why I like it so much. So it's reason why I decided to just get my own account and doing couch surfing by myself and not with others by the fact that i'm a solo traveller.
Interests
I find it very hard to do a lift of interest because the list is too long. Of course I will say travelling is my first interest but I like photography even if I'm just starting to learn more about, watching films and tv series and obviously music and the best of all good food. I guess that's what everybody answer so I will say that I like knowing about the history of each person I meet or each place I go. I like life in general and just everything that goes with it so how can you do a list of your interest when I realise that everyday I've got new things that I'm interested in and I want to learn more about it.

Music, Movies, and Books
I can't pick 1 movie or 1 group of music or 1 book. But I can say I love reading and lately I read some good books like Rum diary by Hunter S. Thomson, 127hours, Catch 22 and The Patron Saint of liars by Ann Patchell.
For movies again too hard to tell which one is my favorite but I recommend Thank you for smoking, Kinsey, Daajerling unlimited, classics like Momento, Scarface and The Godfather but one that make me laugh: Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
Music, i'm listening a lot of style, rock to reggea, but I reckon that New Zealand reggea is one of the best. Try some classic like Ben Harper, Bon Iver, Ben Howard but one that I discover lately a girl from Belgium call Selah Sue, she's got an amazing voice and a very chill music. Of course I like some good old rock like Perfect Circle, some metallica(not all of it though), ACDC, Foo fighters and etc.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Everything in this earth is amazing if you talk about landscape or places to go so I can say oktobefest or those kind of thing you do when you travel but for me thing that I did that amazed me was the last 2 years on the road with as much local as I could. I saw so much and I learned so much of being with those locals with asking a 1000 questions about their life that is what make each experience a lifetime experience. I met people per example who gave his own sucessful international carreer back in Japan to live in Canada as a fisherman because he enjoys fishing too much, others that gave all their money to travel and the best of all those people is those 3 mens that I met in Venezuela which were selling shelfs and shark jaws to get a truck of fresh water everyweek in the deepest country side of Margarita Island. Those people are not spoiled like me they are amazing people who acheive a lot with nothing and that is for me the best thing I ever seen in my life.
Teach, Learn, Share
Love sharing experiences and learning from the others. It'S the reason I keep travelling is to know more about the life of everybody in different culture. What can I teach you, who knows but when you exchange with someone you always teach the other something. If it's not a way of seeing life or how to cook dinner, it will be something very interesting I,m 100% sure.
