*CURRENT MISSION*

Currently doing a 4 months roadtrip in an Orange Van around the Black Sea !
Publish the book of my 2 year world trip with 0 plane, 0 hotel and 0 luggage.

*ABOUT ME*

I am a french photographer, always happy and with lots of good energy to share with the people I meet ! I just finished a 2 year world trip with 0 plane, 0 hotel, and 0 luggage. I guess I'll keep on traveling that way for a bit. Photography is my job, but arts is my way of life. So I also play music, edit videos, paint, draw etc. Next mission : learn how to cook.

*PHILOSOPHY*

Always be yourself.
If someone did it, it is possible.
I did not travel everywhere. But it is on my bucket list.
Learn as you live forever, live as you'll die tomorrow (gandhi).
When you talk about people, only focus on the good things.
Smile. It changes everything.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

*HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING*

I surfed about 100 couches. Now that I am back, I open my doors :)

*COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE*

My overall experience is that I usually meet a host, and leave a friend.

Music, Movies, and Books

I think people who only like 1 kind of music are weird :)

About movies. I love directors as diverse as Clint Eastwood, Quentin Tarantino, or Hayao Miyazaki. I generally like the movies where Natalie Portman or Johnny Depp have a role. I do not like horror movies.

About music. I love electonic music ; last year we even went 3 months to Berlin with my best friend to try to release an electronic music album. I also love some good classics (the Doors, Mark Knopfler, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ben Harper, Justice, M, Manu Chao, Ratatat ...). And if I try to make you discover a few things... Let's try this : Bat for Lashes, Die Antwoerd, Asaf Avidan, Jil is Lucky, Tinariwen, John Butler, Xavier Rudd, Susheela Raman, Nikhil D'Souza.

About books. I love to read, but I need 6 months to read a book. Because I stop 5 minutes after each sentence. Some authors who changed things for me : Michel Houellebecq, Epicure, Eric Berne, Stephen Hawking, Herman Hesse. Some who will soon : Nietzsche, Camus. And a particular crush for Le Petit Prince, that I read every 10 years and understand it differently.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Between 2011 and 2013, I did a worldtrip with 0 plane, 0 luggage, 0 hotel. I am currently writing the book about it.

Boat : I crossed the Atlantic on a sailboat with 2 guys, went to Antarctica on a sailboat, crossed the Pacific on a cargo ship, went from Singapore to Italy on another cargo ship.

High mountain : I climbed the chimborazo (6310 m.a.s.l.), the Vallunaraju (5700 m.a.s.l.), the Cerro Toco (5600 m.a.s.l.) etc

I also ate cat food, did not shave for 1 year, entered with 36 people and a goat in a jeep (India of course)...

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn, anything. Soon, I plan to study french bakery. I'd love to learn piano, too.

I can teach how to understand french humour, how to play guitar, the secret to cook good french crepes, how poor people in India are happy, how to use your camera.
