ABOUT ME

Newbie on the road, 2010 is my first big trip in the south hemispher but I hope (and I think!!) not the last! Travelling with my girlfriend Coco (together for about 7 years). Our parents say "She's the brain, you're the muscle" Not totally right! I can read a map, sure! More seriously I'm maybe too impatient and she can make me think a little bit when i'm going too fast. I love learning everything I could, mostly languages!What about me? Hmm i'm very open to people, i go easily say "hi", having a beer or sharing stories with strangers. At home I like to stay quiet, read a book, talking with my family or cocooning with Coco!
When the summer comes, it's grill & Beer time on the Lake Leman (not Geneva...) with my best friends. Like to go party sometimes, but a bar with good hard rock music is more in my way.

PHILOSOPHY

Just live my life as better as I can

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I Have a Blog on which I put the most informations I can on my trip, place to stay, experiences, costs, etc...I hope it will help some backpackers.
I don't know if a lot of "cheap travellers" want visit Switzerland, sooooooooooo expensive!! But if someone spend some days in my region, I will be very happy to welcome him in my house and show him all what my country has to offer!
And One of the most rewarding side of this kind of exchange is to share informations and stories with people on the road like us!

Interests

So much! I spend a lot of time with my girlfriend and my best friend, talking of all and nothing around a glas, watching a movie, eating good plates in charming restaurant or playing to SF games on my computer. Have a talk with couple of friend around a "Narguilé" and a glas of good red wine, remodeling the world, or talking politics. Read a good SF or historic book next to the fireplace in winter when I come back from snowboarding. In the summer i burn on the streetball places and when i'm not playing outside, I try to do my best with my basketball team in championship. If i¡m writing here it's that I like travelling, and even if it's the beginning I got sooo much ideas for after!
Hiking or biking in the forest or the mountain.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like politic-historical films, when you can have a better understanding of a real fact. Science-fiction is my favorite universe, but I prefer it in the books, when you can imagine your own movie in your head.
Otherwise every kind of music is good for me, but with a slight preference for good old hard rock like AC/DC, Iron Maiden, Metallica and more. And I don't spit on big metal guitar riff, when the sound you make hair fall! And for relaxing, chill out, I know nothing better than a Reggae;-)

More seriously, leaving my job one year for travelling.

Teach, Learn, Share

Learning everything I can. Teaching everythin I Know .
Hope my blog will help some travellers, or give the envy to experiment this fabulous thing that is the travel. Sharing some sad, funny, wonderful or awful stories with others guys I meet.
