About Me

CURRENT MISSION
LOVE LIFE.

Find fun everywhere. Seriously, everywhere.

ABOUT ME

Easy-going French guy, looking forward to learn something. Looking for a funny moment or just an interesting one. I have lived 2 years in Cambodia, it gave me the willingness to travel more and to meet new cultures. I like meeting new people, to hear stories, to make jokes... I have been in many situations where I could not speak the language of the people I was with, but we could understand somehow just by looking at each other eyes. Pretty cool.

Also, I am vegetarian, and these days I am trying to consume less and less (not food, materials!).

I like to adapt to any kind of situation/people.
And I love going out of my confort zone, this is where you find adventure.
PHILOSOPHY

I always try to feel the instant, it means to take the better of it.
Just do It. YOLO. No Worries, hakuna matata. I believe that everybody can change in the ways we want to, we just need to work on how to overcome our limits. "A truly living life is to do the things that you are the most afraid of", "if I do not go, I will not know", "it was bad, but that was still a good experience", " it is not because they are all wrong, that they are truth", "they told him it was impossible, so he did it", " if everybody wait for the other one to start, they will wait for hours, lead if you need to".

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think that if you travel and do not meet the resident of the country personally you are missing something. It was great meeting people from different countries, with different ages (age gap is fascinating), records, life. I learnt a lot. It is a cheap way of travelling but more importantly it is a easy way of making friends, and when I received people at my place it has always been great ! Meeting strangers who are able to share their ideas, their world makes one growing up faster.

Interests

I wish I could have time to learn everything, I am much more interested by the things I do not know than by the things I know, teach me ! I am a climber. I like theater and improvisation. I play guitar, sometimes I even sing, and I also paint, and play chess. I love to discover crazy places where nobody goes (like the roof of buildings, cave, catacombs in Paris, hidden lakes).. I like to write script, hitch-hiking, nature (and climbing trees), to bivouac anywhere. Currently i'm currently teaching public speaking and law t so I must be interested in law (it does not include respecting every law). I am interesting in psychology, self-improvement, communication, jokes, art of eloquence, sociology, politics...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- I climbed at the top of the highest building in Phnom Penh, which was still in construction ! Of course, we used the stairs (no elevators, 37 levels). I did it with another couchsurfer !
- I crossed 10 countries (France to Finland) in 36 days in september 2015, while HITCHHIKING with my tent for more than 3600 KM. Then I came back in Paris, and in order to give everyone the willingness to hitchhike, I gave a little presentation of my travel at a "Nerdnight".
- I jumped on a moving train and I get off while it was between two stations ( I feel like I am a part of a cow-boy movie now...)
- I have lived 6 months in the Philippines, ->> My name means Lesbian in Tagalog and My family name means Girl. People laughed when I introduced myself. (Must be in the my Amazing list, right ?)
- I hitchhiked around 9000 Km in Argentina/Chile, I got my food stolen by rapacious birds..
